How about providing some open-source intelligence in a centralized and machine-parsable fashion (perhaps with community input of intel even) which would allow better decsions to be made?
Chris, that does not solve the one issue you did not mention: liability.
if you can provide sourcing info and src tagging you could potentially limit some of the liability... but yes that's still an issue, the same issue as using any other existing BL though. 'oops jimbob@blplace.bl added www.amazon.com to the bl by mistake!' with some scoring system to set the reputation and associated query logic to pull out things over/under/around a threshold at least the users have some flexibility... if it's open sourced (how to make the list/content) then you can do that for yourself and the liability is all yours :) -Chris
