RE: Kremen VS Arin Antitrust Lawsuit - Anyone have feedback?

Even if you assume that allocations made by ARIN are not property, it's hard to argue that pre-ARIN allocations are not. They're not subject to revocation and their grant wasn't conditioned on compliance with

policies. The reason that ARIN allocations are not property is that pre-ARIN allocations were not property. ARIN is merely continuing the former process with more structure and public oversight. Are telephone numbers property? In any case, since the conditions of the pre-ARIN allocations were all informal, unrecorded and largely verbal, nobody can prove that there was any kind of irrevocable grant. --Michael Dillon
