By the time law enforcement has to be involved to convince a tier1 to shut off their ddos sources, it's far past the point of complicity and the preventable monetary damages have already occurred. You can bet someones going to get sued. Sadly, it's probably going to take a high profile lawsuit to get the tier1s to shape up their act. -Dan
