Hi Eduard,
I think we need to first understand that addresses aren't a property.
If you get allocated or assigned resources by a RIR, they do not belong to you,
you just have a yearly license to use them, and (typically) while the need is
justified.
Similarly, they aren't an IANA property, it is just the central registry that
allocates the to the 5 RIRs.
By the way, obtaining any prefix length, from any RIR, if justified is not
difficult. And that justification for IPv6 is not usually a problem. If there
are cases where the actual policy doesn't work, in any RIR (most of them have
basically the same text), we should work in improving the policy.
I'm not really sure legally something can be done ...
Saludos,
Jordi

Hi all,
Could somebody speak on the legal consequences of hijacking unused address
space?
Imagine the situation that some vendor would push many Carriers to use FC/8
by cutting a rather big block out of it (/28 for each Carrier).
This address space should have a registry. It is an IANA property till then.
But:
1. Nobody is using it - nobody would be hurt.
2. This prefix would be excluded from the Internet (by routing and
filtering)
3. FC/8 is assumed to be used for the closed domain (the purpose of usage
is very similar). Just nobody decided how exactly. Maybe /28 is not how IANA
and IETF would want to split it in the future.
People could ask "why not GUA"? The answer is: it is difficult to get yet
another /28 GUA from RIR just for the infrastructure.
/28 goal has the technical roots by itself. It is the sort of technical
solution.
Could such LIR/Carrier have any pressure from any RIR or IANA itself?
Is any restriction in the LIR agreement?
Any legal consequences? (that would push for renumbering).
Of course, I am aware what may happen if Carrier would need to connect
infrastructure with different Carrier or Cloud Provider
Without proper random prefix generation and registry to guarantee
uniqueness.
The technical side is very clear for me. I am just very ignorant on the
legal side.
