If networks simply took responsibility for the traffic that comes from

Indeed. DNS's, AS's and what not else is required to make the internet
tick; all is centrally controlled and delegated. What's missing is a
flanking reverse of resposibilities. It's idiotic that providers or even
full countries can completely ignore / reject any complaint without
having their AS or DNS taken down.
Unless networks begin doing this routinely (including ISPs), legislation
will be introduced to "solve" the problem, and then we will all be much
worse off. There's nothing like a law to completely screw things up.
Amen!
