The registrant has exclusive control of the block of the number resource to the extent that use by anyone else on the Internet is universally held to be abusive. They can be sold or rented without permission or attachment and bought with minimal registration paperwork (or none if you're willing to operate on a contract with the averred registrant rather than updating the registration). Addresses are used in a manner that closely aligns with the common law understanding of an intellectual property. For a court to find otherwise, a litigant would have to affirmatively prove that this thing which quacks like a duck is in fact a zebra.
