No doubt someone will claim you have some type of real estate interest
involved, and depending on local law, you may have rights to sit on
the IPs until lawfully evicted.
But seriously I would suggest that you would have some expectation
of rights due to RFC2050 as much as any properity rights exist for
so called legacy addresses.
At any rate it sounds like a unilaterial contract change by CW,
which may be unenforcable. I'd just continue to announce the
more specifics for 6 months just to make it as difficult as possible
for CW to re-use them.
It won't win CW and friends that's for sure. (hello AGIS/Net99, anyone?)

After taking a cursory glance at RFC2050, i happened upon
the ambiguous and unintelligable wording 'best current
practice'. Even though the definition of this term was thoroughly
obfuscated, i did not find LAW or JESUS SPAKE preceding any
of the edicts contained within the mentioned rfc.

No one will listen to your announcements because you don't matter.

you don't need friends when people _need_ to reach your network.
On an operationally related question:
Do grammar and nanog go hand-in-hand or is nanog becoming (has always
been?) a forum for the functionally illiterate?

Please see RFC 1818.

You're missing the point. RFC2008 is the one which recognizes legacy
delegations as providing ownership (and therefore property rights).
