Every reputable company in the world tries to make it as easy as possible to report abusive customers. That's the oil that greases the global internetworking machinery. Friendly sysadmins is the only reason we have the Internet today.
Just look at the links above. They even boast about what lengths they'll go to to destroy the network for everybody, what resources they'll spare to destroy your competitor's operation, even what they'll charge for it. To defer these cases to the justice system is a travesty. Just imagine if Google did that with all the spammers in GMail, "yeah, whatever, write to the legal team". Email would be completely unusable.
Sure, globally we can carry one or two parasites on the system. And if you don't host these booters some Russian bulletproof hosting will. But being "just an engineer" doesn't absolve you of anything.
