Roughly this:
- Become a LIR (Local Internet Registry)
- Obtain and set up your AS (Autonomous System)
- Decide what address you'd like to use (e.g. 7.7.7.7)
- Find out who currently has it assigned:
whois 7.7.7.7. Ok, it's US army, try a different one:whois 77.77.77.77- cool someone from Iran. - Contact them and offer them loads of money for transferring the
77.77.77.0/24allocation to you. - Propagate it from your AS and enjoy!
Alternative way: use your loads of money to buy the entire company that owns the block you like.

The IPv4 experiment was supposed be properly re-engineered 40 years ago. It escaped to production and has been legacy ever since. youtu.be/-Uwjt32NvVA
