Not true.  Only incidents >= $5000 in damages and deemed worthy of
investigation are looked into by the FBI.

Reporting an abuse usually by itself is not going to achieve these
thresholds.

If we were to ALL report _ANY_ abuse...

The FBI or other agency would be required to investigate _EACH_
incident.

This would be an incredible drain on their resources, and would often
lead
to many false positives.

Do they really believe that this will have the slightest impact on
hackers
outside of the US - ie Korea, China, etc.

As we are all aware in 8 out of every 10 detected incidents the culprit
is
never found and the jurisdictional boundaries are inter-continental.
