I don't really want to get involved, IANAL, however... Razor does not block e-mail, users and ISPs block e-mail. If some of the EFF's customers choose to use Razor to filter their mail, that is their business. If an end-user's ISP chooses to use Razor, then the customer has the alternative to turn it off (or if they can't, choose another ISP).
Let me say that I support the EFF, and I think they provide a valuable service to the community. I have no doubt that the EFF's list is legitimate, and I think it's ridiculous that someone is reporting their e-mail to the Razor DB. Unfortunately that is the way Razor works, and these customers are choosing to use it. You can't complain that you don't get wet after you open an umbrella. This argument comes up regularly on just about every ISP or mail related list I've ever been on (I usually don't get involved). Such and such is blocking my legitimate e-mail, and one of my customer's uses that service and doesn't want our e-mail blocked. There is a very, very simple solution that I'm sure involves a procmail recipe, or an rm -r.
