You can't get public IP's without a fight, why should the people that actually get them let people use them without a fight as well? If an ISP were fined or IP's were dropped from routes, and they were responsible for it, I think they would be a lot more carefull of who's doing what on their network. The ISP is the gateway to the Internet. They are "usually" responsible admins. They DO have total control over ALL of the traffic that their customers use.
