Dave,
Lauren wouild do well to read the blog by an Illinois lawyer that Gadi linked to.
whats to stop the judge from ordering the IP as well?
Once a judge's order is being ignored, the people who ignore it do so at their risk. The judge would be perfectly within rights to attempt to order ARIN to do something everytime an IP was used to get around his order.
--------^^^^

NB: if the Spamhaus operations are in Europe, ARIN has no say in
the assignment of IP addresses - that job belongs to the
RIPE-NCC in Amsterdam.  between Spamhaus being in the UK
and RIPE being in the NL, the transnational jurisdiction
matter of requiring an NL-based orgnization recognized
in its official role by the EC to enforce a ruling against
a UK organization will be decidedly non-trivial.
