I disagree. It is of course more timeconsuming, but legal systems 
(should) give everyone a fair chance. Franks witch-hunt suggestion is 
exactly what I don't want.
Legal systems also pursue the party that is legally doing something 
wrong, not the ISP or any other third party that shouldn't be bothered 
in the first place (of course sometimes it is the ISP etc).

A lot of what you would define as spam isn't spam at all in legal 
terms.  The company I work for block this spam too (only the spam, not 
the entire provider), but we would certainly not punish or file a lawsuit.
