If you would actually *read* what people from the RIPE NCC are posting here, you'd know that this is not true. But that would destroy the nice soapbox you're ranting from, so I can understand that you don't want that. [..]
the solution is surpricingly easy ( and old) : lease out ip-addresses, as long as the customer pays it will function, when the lease terminates the range will be leased to someone else. Thus it's no longer a free resource that can be polluted ( and replaced at no cost when blocked).
If a LIR stops paying their LIR fees, the resources will be reclaimed. What exactly was it that you were asking for? Gert Doering -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
