Why are ISP's slow to close scam wesbites down?

i know the mainstreem advice when comes to spam and scam website is to "just delete" them but i try to take a more proactive approach and try to get websites closed down but the arseache to get ISP's to get off their backsides is amazing its like they dont care as long as they get paied.

i have reported 3 spam blogger blogs to google and they have YET to delete them. however the bit.ly the blog sites where hiding behind have been quickly blocked. when i reported them.

the scam website it goes too when i do a WHOIS on them point to a website (address) that is signed up using GoDaddy. and what a spammers dream they are the amount of sites i have seen registered with them is amazing. and what is more of a pain is when you report them to godaddy they do sweet f/a they ether claim they dont have anything todo with them and wont do anything about it or they "need a court order" before they close them down. its like going to the police and they say "nowt to do with us mate nick them yourself"

beware of these 3 blogger websites that have been spammed on twitter.

removed links--while we do post scam websites while we are trying to take them down, spammers like these benefit from additional links to their sites, and we don't want to help them. dotti

I would also say that given the billions of domains there are on the internet at any given time, anyone trying to "police" the internet whether professionally or amateurishly is playing King Canute!

ISP is a rather vague term - more normally applied to the organisation who supplies your connection to the internet rather than the content of the internet. I am no expert but this is how I understand the position.

Apart from the scammer there are 3 main players involved in any scam website / domain used for spam.

1) The domain registrar - the organisation, like GoDaddy, eNom etc who actually "registers" a new domain name for the registrant. They may also have re-sellers who do the sales on their behalf.
Under their agreement with ICANN a registrar is required to investigate and suspend domains used for fraudulent purposes. Some take this responsibility more seriously than others.
The registrar is identified using a Whois service such as http://centralops.net/co/DomainDossier.aspx

2) The host - the organisation(s) on whose server(s) the domain is "physically" located.
Hosts do not appear to have any legal responsibility to enforce the law although their terms of service normally say that they will suspend domains in breach of Terms of Service which tend to disallow use of their servers for fraudulent behaviour/spamming. Again hosts vary in how seriously they apply their terms of service.
The host is identified by searching for the IP address (given by the Whois service above) in one of the main Internet Number Resource managers who all provide Whois websites:
Europe: RIPE - https://apps.db.ripe.net/search/query.h ... ultsAnchor
N America, ARIN - https://www.arin.net
Latin America, LACNIC - http://lacnic.net/cgi-bin/lacnic/whois?lg=EN
Asia/Pacific, APNIC - http://www.apnic.net/home
Africa, AFRINIC - http://www.afrinic.net

3) The name server host/provider - the name servers are a key but purely technical component, they "join the dots" between internet-connected devices like a series of telephone books. No telephone book, no-such number.
Name server services (for legitimate sites) are normally supplied by the hosting organisation. Serious fraudsters set up their own name servers, thus allowing them to move their sites between hosts with minimal disruption. Name server hosts tend to be a bit remote from, and disinterested in, the content, so tend not to be much help although they are in a position of power.
The nameservers are typically listed in your domain whois results

So if you can provide evidence of fraud and want to get a domain taken down you can identify, and appeal to, these 3 players. And good luck with it.
