By merely blocking spammer ips, they will just move to the next free trial but by causing minor inconvience to legitiment users (they are only blocked at level 2, which means few if any people will be blocking) you are forcing the ISPs to take action. When the competition sees the bad press, if they have any sense they will follow suit too.
