That reminds me of anycasting or routing issues.

Hackers did use this technique to make use of ip addresses not
really allocated. There would be no need for IPv6 if this was
more widespread.

How about claiming to be f.root-servers.net and setting up our
own root :)

The rest of the internet knows nothing about you, except there are mechanisms that let them "track you down" when necessary. That is very different from today's full-routing-table.
