If they are legally out-of-reach due to their country-of-orgin, you may wish to ask the legal advisor as to what types of punishment you may (legally) unleash upon them. With all of the clever software people congregating around here can produce, I'd imagine some pretty imaginative and just retribution might be doled out.

As a for-example, I have an SMTP mailer that allows mailing of N copies of a message, with real (spoofed, or random) return address which was created/used to convince an organization to take me off their mailing list. Many proper request were simply ignored. When they received the multi-request with the message:
"You have ignored my requests to drop me from your mailing list. If 100 reminders to stop aren't enough, I can and will send a lot more."

They cooperated immediately. Not at all a denial-of-service attack, but rather, an attention getting mechanism from those who otherwise won't be bothered with cooperating.

Sometimes, the white-hat has to make use of the black-hat's weapons. Not all will agree, I'm sure - and would think me evil for the previous paragraph's contents. Would this violate the philosphy behind CP or reinforce it? Within the limits of the law, their's a lot to be said for pragmatism.
