And what IPs precisely are you planning to deny? So far its all idle
threats, we have no idea where they plan to launch their scans or hacking
attempts from, or even if they have any clue how to hack anything. I
highly doubt they'll be attaching riaa.com to it either.

I suppose if you want symbolism, you can host -l riaa.com and wack their 
wcom webserver and other stuff at att, but I'd harly call that 
productive.
