So how much effort do we want to make (read: should the LIRs pay) on a dead horse?

If these entities are legitimate businesses according to their national law, if the RIPE NCC will *not* give them addresses, we're going to have large problems (anti-monopoly laws, etc.). The situation is quite clear if a LEA shows up and states "these are criminals", and the RIPE policy takes that into account (withdraw addresses). Now, how do you know upfront that a new business is criminal, as defined by applicable law? "Is run by a well-known spammer" might be clear to you and me, but is it clear enough from a *legal* perspective? Gert Doering -- did you enable IPv6 on something today...?
