Copy & Paste Lists

I thought it had been made clear some time ago that lists must not be copied from other list sites. Why is it then that an account with over 700 lists simply copies most of those from other list sites, without even crediting the source? The pictures are lifted, the descriptions are lifted, and even the list names are lifted. How is this fair to the creators of the original lists?
I have to admit that I haven't followed the paper-trail to the original source, but a simple copy into Google shows that the lists are not original. What makes it worse is that the person in question spams the new list feed with her lists. New list after new list that are simply not new lists. They are good lists, but I have seen on numerous occasions that she is praised for her fantastic lists... HER fantastic lists? Bum biscuits!!!
If nothing is going to be done about her presence here, can we not simply have a way to block her presence completely, a block option would surely be more useful if it blocked the person from all feeds. Obviously we need to see their images in galleries to avoid duplication, but there is no reason to see them on the feeds.
'Hide updates by this person' - sounds delicious!
