Quite so. The evangalists will tell you that the collateral damage is
intentional and is there to cause people who happen to have chosen a
provider with a bad reputation to change provider, or put pressure on
the provider to change their policies.
That's all very well, but it only applies if the collaterally-damaged
user has a choice. What should a Japanese company do if it finds
itself blacklisted because someone else in Japan sent spam? Move
countries?
