If my ISP started filtering absolutely anything destined for me/my
machine, I'd crack them upside the head with a clue stick. But if they
offered it as a service I could choose to sign-up for, that's different.
Voluntary inclusion in a service (be it filtering, blacklists, etc)
means you accept that you have to trust the information from others.
So, what I consider spam I'll share with the world. If other decide to
trust me directly (my blacklist) or the services that I tell about the
spam (spamcop, etc,) then that's their decision and I don't directly
have an effect on what they receive.
In short, you do what you want. If you trust others to determine spam
for you, you by definition trust their definition of spam.
