Indeed. DNS's, AS's and what not else is required to make the internet 
tick; all is centrally controlled and delegated. What's missing is a 
flanking reverse of resposibilities. It's idiotic that providers or even 
full countries can completely ignore / reject any complaint without 
having their AS or DNS taken down.
