It's a subscription-based service 2.

So, I contacted the original poster of the promotional email (not to this list, as far as I can tell, although the reply was copied here), asking "Does this mean that if I subscribe to your list, I can sell the content on to my customers?" and got the following interesting reply: > You read and interpret correctly. > > What our subscribers do with the lists we provide is none of our concern. > > > -- > Signed, > > Benjamin E. Nichols > http://www.squidblacklist.org So, if anyone thinks there's even the slightest value in using these lists, we only need a single subscription between us, and then the lists can be distributed for free (or 1¢ per copy, or whatever someone thinks is reasonable). So, it may be subscription-only, but we could easily make it one subscription per world, if we want to. Antony. -- This sentence contains exactly threee erors.
