Let me ask you this: What would you do when you have alerted (via abuse@ contacts) a notable ISP in the U.S. (not a tier one, and not just one of them) about KNOWN, VERIFIABLE, and RECURRING criminal activity in their customer downstreams?

I suppose you could always null-route them. Unfortunately, I suspect there's enough ISPs in the world that meet your description that doing so for all of them will push you significantly closer to the magical "240K routes melts your router".. The *big* question is, of course, whether there's enough of them for aggregation to make a measurable difference... :)
