IMHO,

This is not a problem we can solve by adding:

a) technology (other than completely dumping the OS(s) that make this
possible)
b) manpower 

I think it can be solved by reducing the margins in the miscreant
business line
or ideally having it have negative margins.

I would suggest more specific attention by service providers 
specifically, and everyone in general, perhaps with more 
"abuse services" -related tracks at meetings like NANOG. :-)

Or something along those lines...

I think better to focus on the economics of the business as part of the
abuse track.
