Yes. At the bottom of each list of report address choices:
ATTENTION: Report only email addresses and web sites which you think
are used by the spammer.
If the spammer is using something, report it. If the spammer isn't
using something, reporting it is pointless. What could the innocent
bystanders do about accounts over which they have no direct control?

How would *you* have the innocent bystanders prevent this?
The most effective way I can think of would be to send a report to the
responsible parties... isn't that what we already do?

Call your lawyer and ask for an opinion and tell us what s/he says.
It's better to be prepared before this happens.
