Actually, over and over, SpamCop does recommends NOT blocking
messages using the blacklist.  The blacklist is intended for Holding
messages for later Review.  I say "over-and-over" because I
subscribed to one of their mailing lists for a while (two days?) and
I saw this message about 3 times.

However, when I went to SpamCop's site and read the actual message
posted, I see that they call it a blocking list.  So, there's some
confusion between what they are saying in their help mailing list and
what they're saying on their web site.  Note, that the web site DOES
say that the list is experimental and should NOT be used in a
production environment.  In that case a "tag only" mode is
recommended.  So, maybe that's where they're coming from.
