Bill - Even a finding to that effect would not reflect any specific rights in routing table of the parties - it only means that that one party interfered in the commerce of another. If you provide an actual citation of such a finding, it should be fairly easy to find the language to that effect in the judgement. > I expect ARIN counsel can identify additional torts for which the > registration likely offers the decisive evidence of guilt. Registry information is often used as evidence in legal matters, but that does not support your assertion that “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” Do you have any actual examples of someone enforcing this alleged right in court? (it would be helpful for the communtiy to know which ISP’s routing interior/exterior routing table has been constrained as a result and in what manner.)
