People will pay attention as soon as there is money in black lists.
ISP's are businesses.  If losing the customer is cheaper than helping
them far too many will choose to lose the customer.  Many black
lists don't pay the ISP at all, indeed they are offered as free
services for the good of the community.  As a result they get the
response that any freeloader would, none.

For better or for worse you get to vote with your dollars, which
really means no dollars, no vote, no support.
