They're not signed of course :)

But that works from both sides - there's no signed agreement that says 
you have to give it back, but there's no signed agreement that says they 
have to let you have it or route it etc.

It's all pointless anyway... what's the point of hijacking address space 
that nobody(or rather few people) will accept?
