Of course. Please do try to educate a botmaster, snowshoe spammer, nigerian scam artist etc.
We are talking about ISPs and LIRs *not* about network abusers
Disagreed. We have to talk about both, abusers and ISPs/LIRs. You cannot educate abusers, simply because they do it on effort. But we have to educate or raise the communication level between ISPs/LIRs. Like my example described: most abuse NOCs or very, very slow, uneducated, not interested, do not want to spend money aso. I system that raises the level or trusted report sources, that only works between LIRs, could help, because - any LIR could be force to enter his details, so he will READ any description, why this system was introduced - reports from other, experienced LIRs/ISPs could be trusted, simply because they are experienced, they will not behave like normal end users, will try to use standarized reporting formats, present all needed infos and detailed log excerpts e.g and simply because they also want the same kind of qualified reports from others An introduction of such a anonymous communication server via RIPE NCCs servers could also be accompanied with snail mail, email, announcements, in the regulary RIPE reports, meetings aso ...
LEA has their place in the larger scheme of things. It wouldnt be a bright idea to underrate, or underestimate them.
LEA actions only works, if the abusing server and the administrator of the attacked service are located in the same country and surely are last resort (well, works in Germany quite well, very ignorant ISPs could be brought to court, if they ignore reports, because everybody in Germany is urged to prevent crime from others, if he has knowledge and the possibility to prevent it). Kind regards, Frank
*Sigh*

I'm a strong believer in self-regulation - so education is always going to be the preferred route for me - LEA can be too heavyhanded
