The fact that you find private property "disconcerting" is enough to know this conversation is not going to go anywhere.

IP addresses were distributed on an per need basis. Now it became a lucrative investment (people didn't originally pay millions for this block!)

Why should IP addresses be private property? Why not simply reclaim unused IP addresses instead, and re-distribute it using the usual mechanism?

Oh it went somewhere, directly to run away capitalism and regulatory captures markets.

Be dismissive all you want.

Just because i don't hold your religious beliefs in regards to private property doesn't mean we can't have a conversation. Of course, if the entire conversation revolves around the legitimacy (or lack thereof) of private property, we'll wander away from the topic that big tech multinationals are eating away the Internet commons. Specifically from Amazon, i'm also referring to the .amazon TLD case.
