Baloney.  They are consenting to being governed by continuing to
use the legacy IPv4 resources to connect to the rest of the Internet.
Nobody is holding a gun to their head and telling them that they
HAVE to continue to use those IPv4 resources.

If they don't like being governed by ARIN without their consent
then STOP USING the resources.

The only value those resources have for them is to plug in to the rest 
of us who ARE being governed by ARIN, so to say that the RIR's 
stewardship of IPv4 could somehow be arranged to NOT affect their use of 
their IPv4 is pretty ridiculous.
