Ron Guilmette writes "As Reported in this
Washington Post story a substantial hunk of IP address
space appears to have been taken over by notorious mass e-mailing company
Media Breakaway, LLC,
formerly known as OptInRealBig, via means that are at best questionable.
The block in question is the
134.17.0.0/16 IP address block, which I investigated in depth in
this
independent investigation.
(Apparently, the President of Media Breakaway has now admitted to the
Washington Post that his company has been occupying and using the
134.17.0.0/16 block and that front company
JKS Media which
provides routing to the block is actually owned by Media Breakaway.)
Remarkably, the President of Media Breakaway... who happens to be an
attorney... is trying to
defend his company's apparent snatching of this block based upon his
own rather novel and
legalistic argument that
ARIN doesn't have ``jurisdiction'' over
any IP
address space that was handed out before ARIN was formed. Get the
popcorn ready! This is bound to be entertaining."
