I agree, I'd be very frustrated by a service that has its fat fingers inside of 
my data, thinks its smarter then me, and refuses to scrobble what I'm sending. 
even if it is "good" for me. maybe I want to be unprotected and go to jail? 
give me that freedom, you are a data aggregator, leave my data alone.

I think its ok to have it as an option, 
and you could extend this, making it possible for users to 
create/share/subscribe to blacklists, it would probably be simple to implement 
this with code used by for managing playlists.. 

it could be called a filter and not a blacklist, and it could be useuful for 
looking and exploring the data, and not necessarily just for privacy..

and user could have an option to select/create filters for 
public/friends/specific people
you could create new filters by using set operations, like union, etc. and 
select data on the basis of its tags or strings in name of the artist/song 
name, etc..

so it would be easy to do anything, an user can select to filter all songs that 
have tag "ILLEGAL IN BAGDAD" to public visitors, or alternativly use 
somebody's/somegroups? filter named "ILLEGAL IN BAGDAD"...

also, using those filters to look at the data of other people/groups of people 
would be nice for analyzing listening habits of the world.
