Sure; but that's not what I meant.  I mean you have no *legal* standing
against the end user.  You can ask the other ISP nicely to do something,
but you can't really force them to.

Most ISPs are well-behaved and will take action, but a lot of them get
so many abuse complaints that they just ignore them.
