being forced to spend manhours (= money) to 'delist' from
3rd party dns blacklists is 'empflindliche uebel', and yes
you are forcing them into a 'handlung (delisting/acting
AGAINST their paying customer), duldung (ignoring the fact
that you call them and others affected by your block
'spammers') or 'unterlassung' (interfering with their
provider immunity and right to sell services to anyone,
anywhere, and keep doing so - as long as those don't break
the law -there- and even if they do you can still sell
them services as that's their problem -there- not yours.
per-se. ;)

(Even if the resources change hands) Personally, I think that block times should be increased or become more permanent. Practically and right now, some of the block lists that I feed data into is talking about discontinuing 24 hour blocks completely and moving to much longer block times. Other lists are considering completely discontinuing auto de-listing. The effect of this will mean that abuse@ will have to become more responsive in order to avoid being more permanently listed.
