Hi Matthew, That's only true if everybody is playing by the same rules. I asked, but I still haven't heard someone explain the CNNIC rules and process that facilitate IPv4 addresses transferring out of China and over to North America. Reciprocity is something of a requirement for free trade.

The exact statement is technically accurate but falls well short of truthful. It implies a total disconnect between registration and routing which is patently false. A registration is most emphatically intended to confer upon the registrant the right to -exclude- others' use of those numbers within the routing infrastructure on the public Internet. That's what the address registries and registrations are for. And sufficient torts in the common law back it up. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin ................
