I can't see how stating "we are the masters of all american IP addresses!" 
can give you a legal claim on something assigned before ARIN existed, 
unless the holder either voluntarily accepts that claim, or had a contract
with IANA/InterNIC that stated "should an American RIR emerge one day,
these address blocks automatically fall under their policy".

So - assuming no contract exists, what can you *do* if someone wants to
transfer their Space to an entity in RIPE land?  "Refuse to remove their
database entry"?  "Bully the RIPE NCC to not add a database entry?"

Your stick is small...
