THIS my friend, is EXACTLY what a LIR is supposed to do. register ip space 
for third parties and charge them for the service.

the whole LIR == ISP crap, is a misinterpretation of the tasks of both 
RIPE and LIRS, as is the fact that they encourage potential LIR customers 
of becoming a LIR themselves, rather than paying a LIR to register PI 
space for them (the legal aspects of which, are questionable as well, 
after all, LIRS pay RIPE to enable them to register PI space, not for RIPE 
to steal their customers ;)
