Bill - 
 
   It’s quite possible that there are options for legal recourse against a
   party which routes an address block in a manner not authorized by
   the block holder, but that would not be the result of any right to the 
   routing table that the address holder has, but instead the result of 
   a violation of an actual statute or violation of contractual provisions 
   between service providers and their peers and/or customers. 

   (None of which equates to "a lawful right to exclude anyone else 
   from using his ARIN-registered IP address on the public Internet.”)

Thanks!
