Spam RBL's are being attacked on the legal front which puts black lists in jepardy. The idea being that businesses have a legal right to solicit their customers and a third party cannot block that.
Spammers will never win a case against RBL operators, because the RBLs themselves do not actually block anything. It is the the individual organization that decides what RBLs (if any) to use, and therefore it is the individual organization which sets up the blocking that is preventing the "legitimate solicitation of business".

It's articles like this one that leave me in doubt. They did get repealed shortly after, but the fact that they made enough progress to block spamcop is something. It's a matter of time. 21 Billion USD can't get ignored for too long.
