I cannot absolutely prevent you from stealing my furniture

my express desires.
As has been mentioned here before, stealing furnature is a criminal
offence, writing a contract giving exclusive rights to address space is
not. That's a pretty crucial difference. If breaking and entering and
stealing furnature were legal, the small help of a lock on my porch screen
door would make little difference to a "bad actor". Locks keep honest
people honest, but if an activity is not widely agreed to be immoral,
locks won't help.
I'll ask plainly; for everyone voting for needs-free
transfers; would you still vote that way, *if in doing
so, you were guaranteed to not be able to obtain
any number resources under the new policy*?
I don't have any address resources now, and I don't ever plan on having
any in the future, so sure, why not?
If not, I would claim your votes are not guided by
the good of the community; they're guided by
self-interest, and a hope and desire that you can
get something for less effort than you can by following
the current guidelines.
Oh really?
Much like Owen, I have a nice little business of helping small
organizations navigate the ARIN process to get address space. It's not a
majority of my income, but it's pretty nice and easy work for me. If
needs basis goes away, guess what else goes away?
Even though Owen and I are on opposite sides of this coversation, I can
guarantee you right now that both of us, without fail, are arguing solely
for what we think is best for the community.
It's quite ironic that I would make more money by arguing on your side of
the issue, isn't it?
Or maybe my conspiracy is to get v4 to run out faster so I can make more
money on v6 deployment?
I'm sorry. I'm going to start saying things that
will offend people, and I'll end up with a bunch
of pissed off people if I continue.
I believe you already have.
Please only question my motives when you have evidence.
