Quite so. The evangalists will tell you that the collateral damage is intentional and is there to cause people who happen to have chosen a provider with a bad reputation to change provider, or put pressure on the provider to change their policies. That's all very well, but it only applies if the collaterally-damaged user has a choice. What should a Japanese company do if it finds itself blacklisted because someone else in Japan sent spam? Move countries?
