I am 99.9999% sure this not true. No entity has the power to
"blacklist [someone] as a sender of spam". Spamcop _does_, I
believe, maintain a list of known spammers, but it has no power to
enforce any sort of blacklist. A significant number of ISPs do use
one or another list of known spammers and block messages from those
sites, but that is their choice and is not the result of any sort of
external enforcement action.
What Spamcop does is to forward complaints about spam to the ISP of
the sender. It is up to that ISP what action (if any) to take.
So your complaint is with your ISP for handling complaints
improperly, and of course with the people who file false complaints.
