Depends.  Was softlayer up-front with the customers about what addresses
are blocked, and why?

If the customers knew that softlayer had a block list and had a way to tell
if it was impacting their network access, that's one thing.

If softlayer was doing it without informed consent from its customers, that's
a different kettle of fish....
