My understanding of things is that as people report spam to them, they'll
add hosts to their infringer's RBL (aka HABEAS_VIOLATOR).  This should,
in theory, take care of itself.

If it doesn't, and spammers continue to add the headers without
consequence, yes, I think both the rules and the company would go away
rather quickly.
