Won't work because no one will sign that contract.

The answer is lawsuits. People who are damaged by DDOS need to file suit 
against the networks that allowed the spoofed packets. Once it becomes 
more expensive to allow the spoofing (due to both damages and legal 
bills) than it is to prevent it, people will work harder to prevent it.
