Granted, they have the lion's share of the problems. But those problems won't stop at the boundary of their net. For example, a bogus TLD will leak out to people on the real internet, links on web pages can't be resolved (or point elsewhere), users get confused, mail gets bounced or treated as spam, etc, etc. Once that happens, bogus root servers and suchlike become a serious problem for the helpdesks and support people at ISPs on the real internet. If only there was a Protocol Police to deal with these impostors.
