This is true, but imagine the reporting function be handled
automatically by machines and the counter-measures enforced near
real-time by interested and cooperatings ISPs (again using
automation). This might make the situation a bit better than today.
Also parties that don't care or cooperate can be more easily
identified. 
I think we should not leave the situation as-is.
