This is the main question to be answered. If the answer is "NO", then I would like to understand why the RIRs cannot do watver they want with the legacy space "managed" by them. If the answer is "YES", then that would be for me a good starting point into accepting the current situation. But on the other side, it seems that not all RIRs have such a "friendly" stance towards LRHs (towards LEGACY in general). > > Is there some copyright or patent on those legacy blocks or address > > space (I know it sounds stupid) ? > > Maybe a 3rd option... "ownership"? :-) It's not becayse you have always been named Carlos that you own the name. In fact you don't. And I doubt anyone owns the number 1 (or 42, or whatever) ot the letter A. Intellectual property only exists because there are laws allowing it to exist and specifying in what circumstances it can exist and what is it's extent. > Correct me if i'm wrong, but i think both the RIR community and the LRHs > strongly prefer to sort out all details without running to arbitration, or... courts. Usually yes, but sometimes it's only the courts that can definitely decide how things must be.
