But it is far, far more productive for the source of this abuse to be choked off. Call it the difference between using mosquito repellant and draining a huge pool of stagnant water just outside your home.
Do we really want ISPs to become the enforcers for every Internet application someone may use or abuse? Webmail, online game cheating, blog complaints, auctions disputes, instant message harrasment, music sharing, online gambling, etc.
Imagining you are going to stop drug dealers by removing public pay phones isn't addressing the real source of the problem.
