No, I think this goes overboard. Some of them are pretty fanatic and might indeed work with such tricks occasionally. But others sound pretty reasonable. And in the end, internet crime is existant and must be dealt with, isn't it?
I have been in contact with blacklists from the one spectrum and from the other. One particular one even called me back because Tor is very important to them and they want to work on a way to make this easier for Tor operators.

I have no problem receiving all Spamcop reports. To the contrary, I believe spam shows one of the flaws in the current implementation of the Internet, and it has to be dealt with. Even if the war against spam has to be fought with the same technically flawed methods.
In Germany, we nowadays call such a thing "Brückentechnologie" (bridging technology): We acknowledge that something has huge flaws, but we're not willing to give up other properties of the system to really fix the problem. Instead, we try to find constant workarounds.
Tor is in the same category.
