Filtering IP addresses are not the right way to attack these sites -the move too quickly and there is too much danger of collateral damage.I think part of the point of this blacklist is similar to other blacklists. It makes providers remove their head from their ass and actually start cleaning up their networks. When a provider hosts a phishing site for _weeks on end_ and does_nothing_ despite being notified repeatedly, sometimes a blacklist is theonly cluebat strong enough to get through the provider's thick skull.
If the blacklist is only for sites which are weeks, or even a couple days old, that probably would remove most of the objections. (I _think_ - I have not considered all the ramifications, but it sounds like a plausible compromise.)
Unfortunately, that type of blacklist wouldn't stop 99% of the phishing scams in operation.
