It is a principle of common law that if there is no money (or
equivalent) paid then there is no legal contract. Has this changed in
the USA?

I'd like to see all these entities billed retroactively back to the
beginning of ARIN. If they complain, then we could negotiate it down to
just the past year if they sign an RSA.
