you omit argument 4:

a TRO against nacs.net has no effect on the behavior of providers
such as verio who won't honor the advertisement of the subnet
in BGP. the customer would have to, one-by-one i think, go after
everybody with the relatively common policy of ignoring such
advertisements (isn't sprint one of these? that'd be a pretty big
hunk of internet to be disconnected from. sprint having no
contractual relationship with the idiot, er, customer in question,
it'd be hard for the customer to get anywhere there.)

in other words, by itself the requested TRO incompletely solves
the problem, making it fairly pointless.
