"That is where government could help. It could introduce new
mechanisms to hold hosting companies liable for the damage done
by their criminal clientele. It could allow ISPs to be held
liable for their criminal hosts. It could encourage and regulate
ISPs to share more information on the threats they find ...
Dialogues to bring the Chinese closer into the fold will not only
make it easier to marginalize cybercriminals; it will build
momentum for broader negotiations on all sorts of Internet
security issues."

I am not going to substantively comment on this paper yet, except to
note that its perhaps somewhat unusual focus on cooperation with China
in this sphere may be at least partially explained by the fact that
the report appears to be associated with Brookings' John L. Thornton
China Center.
