So, my question for NANOG is how does one go about attracting the 
attention of law enforcement when your network is under attack?
How 
does the target of such an attack get a large network provider
who's 
customers are part of the attack to pay attention?  Is media 
attention the only way to pressure a response from either group?  
These DDoS attacks have received some attention in mainstream
media:

People will pay attention as soon as there is money in black lists. 
ISP's are businesses.  If losing the customer is cheaper than helping

them far too many will choose to lose the customer.  Many black lists

don't pay the ISP at all, indeed they are offered as free services
for 
the good of the community.  As a result they get the response that
any 
freeloader would, none.

RBLs Sounds like a great application for P2P.

Perhaps, but it also seems like moving an RBL onto a P2P network would
making poisoning the RBL far too easy...
