There are always ways around the system. I suspect what has happened is
that IRR's require that a company hold addresses but they have
provisions for companies to be sold or change names. So the IP address
brokers probably sell a "business" with the IP address block.
It might be simpler than that. I don't know what the loopholes are but
I'm sure some lawyers have read through all the documents and found a
way. I imagine it's never been tested in court because proving the
system is being exploited would be hard, and the parties with a vested
interest probably don't have the resources to make a fight of it.
