Owen Said: 6. ARIN receives a fraud/abuse complaint that A's space is being used by B. 7. ARIN discovers that A is no longer using the space in accordance with their RSA 8. ARIN reclaims the space and A and B are left to figure out who owes what to whom. You know I love you Owen. :) 9. A sues ARIN for tortuous contract interference. 10. B sues ARIN for same. 11. C and D join the law suit. 12. Judges step in. 13. ARIN gets mired in lawsuit after lawsuit 14. Dogs and cats start living together
