RIRs _allocate_ addresses, meaning that they provide the _service_ of _registering uniqueness_. You pay a _membership fee_ to support the ongoing operation of the registry, and allow it to continue providing you with the _service of uniqueness_ for your addresses. You don't buy them, you don't lease them. You buy the service of the RIR's maintenance of a database which ensures unique allocations. -Bill
