This is also what I've experienced when Code Red came out. I searched out the people from the different IP address blocks (ARIN, RIPE ...) only to get very cold emails back.
Launching a counter strike with a script to clean these systems, can only backfire. Therefore I believe that the Tarpit will help out. 'Their systems' are initiating the connections, and I just hold them tight and don't let go. It will slowdown the offending host. It might be a small piece in the global scheme of things, but it's easy to implement and the idea of the tarpit is so hilarious to me ;-)
