Assume you have a public IPv4 assignment, and someone else starts routing your assignment... "legitimately" or not, RIR allocation transferred to them, or not. There might be a record created in a database, and/or internet routing tables regarding someone else using the same range for a connected network. But your unconnected network, is unaffected. You are going to have a hard time getting a court to take your case, if the loss/damages to your operation are $0, because your network is unconnected, and its operation is not impaired by someone else's use, and the address ranges' appearance in the global tables. -- -JH
