EXACTLY.
Ron, what exactly do you expect ARIN to do? Where is the magic wand one
would wave to erase routes from the internet? ARIN (in fact NO ONE) has
no actual means to block or recend any route announcement. Do you suggest
they sue whomever is involved? That won't be very fast, or even an option
outside the US.
The only reason this sort of shit happens is because of bad network
operators who allow it and participate in it. Responsible operators ask
for and verify one's rights to address space before accepting it. (AS path
and prefix filtering can only go so far.)
