If ISPs were able to be compensated for the research and follow up for RIAA requests, it would make the whole system completely financially infeasible for RIAA. The reason it sort of works now is because it's cheap and easy, despite being only partially effective, same reason spam works. That's the reason it's not happening I think.
I'd take money from RIAA to certify that my company has researched who was using that IP and relayed the warning to the end user paying for the Internet service. I would not reveal customer information to the RIAA, and wouldn't cancel service for the customer solely because the RIAA asked me to.
