Okaye Okaye. It seems to me that the judge is trying to do this research. The Restraining Order is just something the judge passed down in order to buy time to do exactly that. What should the ISP do? They should use forwarding to comply with the order, and in the mean time, collect data to show what a hardship this whole ordeal is putting them through. That way, when the Big Day comes, they will have hard numbers to present the judge, instead of just abstract concepts that you'd have to be well versed in technology to understand. Yes, that's what this is for a judge: abstract concepts.
Also, is the Customer trying to take their IP-adress permanently or is this just about trying to keep the old IP-adress long enough to implement the transition in an orderly fashion?
Furthermore, if ARIN can revoke IP-space at a moment's notice, that needs to be changed. They should be required to give adequate Prior Notice far enough in advance as to allow all parties involved to brace themselves for the impact.
