I'm not sure that legacy blocks can be really transferable with an exchange of money.

It seems as long as right holder is changed in the whoisdb... it seems fine.

They specifically allow it now, and I don't think this article has to do with 47/8. They probably cannot transfer 47/8. There are other, smaller allocations in ARIN WHOIS; my officemate rattled them off out loud but I couldn't add in my head fast enough. Dig through WHOIS, it probably adds up to 666k.

The situation has changed since 2008; maybe look at more recent ARIN policy.
