IANAL but I have little respect for legal strategies that disrespect the
intelligence of the court.

A black-hole list is clearly maintained for the same purposes as a
blacklist. You do not avoid legal liability by changing the name.

The terms 'black-hole' or 'block-list' are arguably indicative of the
intended use of the list. If anything they make the legal situation
worse.
