Shutting down the bot nets seems an almost impossible task at this point without shutting down the whole internet and starting on fresh protocols and hardware. Not exactly feasible for the whole world but doable on small networks. Finding out who controls the boy nets, and ruining them seems the only option.

Yes, it's definitely hard to shut down them. If impossible without even worse problems.
What we need is to make the bots useful, not stop them.
Take recaptchas for instance. They don't do anything except make better bots... Not a good thing.
We should have captchas which use bots....
