Yes, of course we depend on nice ISP :)
BTW, it's not true that we have no *legal* standing, in France, since 1990,
it's illegal to even try to scan another user, and you are responsible
for anything that go through your computer.
Sending a virus, event if you don't know anything about it, is illegal and if you
do nothing about it you could have some problem if you meet a dumb user or isp...
And since two days ago, the legislation has been even reinforced...
(badly reinforced... like US patriot act)

Or have robot response saying "we took actions against this user" but
nothing stops...
Btw the best response I got for now was from a Belgian ISP called Skynet.
