In most countries you pay taxes for the land you have. The more you have, the more takes you pay. Someone having 100m2 of land does not pay the same as one that has 100000m2 of land.
RIPE NCC is not a government it is an association. You still pay tax to your government for property, which technically means legacy resource holders should declare it in their taxes (but that is aside from RIPE NCC which has no right to those resources).
You can sell yours at the same price to others if you didn't need it This is why the scammers are creating lots of new LIRs. They think it's fair that it's so cheap to get from RIPE vs market price and will love it when you make it even cheaper for them
What entitles you to call "scammer" someone that chooses to pay less lots of money "one shot" for something that others got for free ?
No one called you a scammer, they stated that people that use loopholes to get around community set policy are.
Oh, by the way, do "scammers" include those that get IP space by registering LIRs on different companies with same contact info and strikingly similar names ? (sorry, couldn't resist).
Yes it does. But that is a loophole we will struggle to close legally. But the use of those resources by one company is difficult until the two year transfer limitation has passed and would require some seriously sketchy BGP work to use in the meantime.
