Blocking wouldn't help.

In the Morpheus case, they were forced to make a fast switch because
of an attack on the FastTrack network, possibly by rival Kazaa.

I fully expect that in order to stay in business they would have to
make sure they offer users a comparable experience to the old network.

On the other hand if it goes on for longer than it should I would
imagine creating a separate network of BearShare-only nodes. This
would solve another problem that has been plaguing the network
recently (fake query hits).

Taken from the GDF message 5754!
