We already have IP blocks with so much "background radiation" that
RIRs prefer not allocating them, or only allocating them to people
with distributed traffic handling capacity, like 1.1.1.x. But the less
of those there are, the better.

As previously mentioned, this is about something that doesn't involve
a court ruling, at least not yet, but a seizure request made by the
party to attack the sustainability of the RIR. Rulings that people
disagree have their own way inside the court system to be dealt with.
