What would you do as Business X if Business Y starts BGP advertising an 
IP prefix that you have received an registration from ARIN for?

You would appeal to the ISP's of Business Y and potentially the courts 
as a civil suit. You might try to appeal to the LEO's by calling it some 
kind of hacking.

Why would the ISP's choose to assist you rather than their customer?

Under what statute does the use of a range of integers become 
potentially criminal behavior?

As far as I know there is no law on the books that defines "proper usage 
of the block" and I wouldnt want any to exist either.
