Re: [address-policy-wg] Revised 2007-01 moved back to Review Period (Direct Internet Resource Assignments to End Users from the RIPE NCC)

* Shane Kerr:

Why would there be large lawyer bills? Wouldn't it be much, MUCH cheaper to simply sign a contract with the RIPE NCC saying "I am the assignee of this space" rather than spend money on laywers?

The real fun starts when RIPE recovers address space, reassigns it, and the depossessed party starts to sue the new owner. (Please substitute mentally the correct concept for "owning".)
