In the end the cure is worse than the disease (by abusing the 
anti-abuse
system.  DMCA abuse anyone?  Or the stupid bogons list so many people
forget to update every friggin time IANA allocated a new /8 to one of
the RIRs?)

It's interesting to see how bandaid solutions increase the problems
because they are too weak to solve the issue that they are targetted at,
create additional issues of their own, and spawn a herd of imitators
with similar bandaid solutions.

And on it goes...
