And so the ONLY solution to this behavior is to motivate them to
cooperate by adopting a universal rule that if you are such an ISP,
your traffic is refused until you come into compliance.   Other
domains of human activity use the same rule e.g. you don't get
a driver's license until you pass the test, and if you are a drunk
driver it is withdrawn.  (See earlier reference for a simple
system to implement this.)
