They say that they don't have to make this information available to anyone except ARIN. I was always under the impression that delegations had to be publicly visible, but looking at ARIN's policy more closely, it seems that the information only has to be available to ARIN.
If the ARIN server recurses properly, you should be able to pull it out that way. So hiding it from everybody but ARIN doesn't make the information unavailable. They're probably sheltering themselves from security concerns in the server. -Dave
