Default Why not "Blackball" hosts who purposly create missleading files?

I have downloaded so many files that contain "Addons," "Adware," and "Trojon Horses," that is has become a near nightmare to try and download at all. I've learned a lot, and some of what to avoid, yet still get fooled. I have so many hosts blocked now, that my searches usualy begin with the blocked hosts at the top of the lists. Is this a scam being run by unscrupulous people? If so, perhaps LW could find a way to interveen without stepping on the freedom of others? A lot to ask, isn't it?
