this sort of thing won't help.  Transfers will happen anyway.  The only
thing that will happen as a result of attempting to ban transfers is
that the transfer will not be documented, which will drive the address
market underground.  This benefits no-one.

Bear in mind that the purpose of the RIPE NCC registry is to ensure
accurate registration of address resources, not to beat people with
sticks and tell them what they can or cannot do.
