Sorry, the ends don't justify the means. False positives punish
the ISP customer, who still has to pay her monthly/weekly/per-byte
fees, whether the ISP fixes the problem or not. I appreciate the
goal that blacklists are trying to achieve, but the means victimize
innocents. Not all ISPs on these lists are "unethical." To suppose
otherwise is no different than supposing someone guilty because
they take the 5th Amendment.
