Is this the accepted norm in the RIPE region?
This is certainly frowned upon. Now, is it forbidden explicitely by a legal text? I don't know (and didn't check) but the hijackers of resources in RIPEland are not always RIPE members and do not always have RIPE resources. Bonus: take into account not only "public" hijackings, such as BGP announces, but also "internal" ones such as the turkish governement hijacking 8.8.8.0/24 to substitute a lying DNS resolver to Google Public DNS. Interesting case for a lawyer :-}
