But prosecution takes time and doesn't really solve a problem in the short term.

This is a common problem on the Internet: a lot of bad stuff is
happening where prosecuting, if possible at all, would mean the bad
stuff could go on for some time. Most ISPs have a policy where
accounts are closed, sites are taken down etc. if it seems that
something bad is going on - but they probably have some T&Cs that
cover them in case the decision turns out to have been wrong.
