The people doing this generally know this. They often also block big 
chunks of APNIC too. They often believe that the ratio of legitimate 
mail to spam coming from these networks for their customers is too poor 
to not block. They'll usually whitelist an address if one of their 
customers requests it.

I'm not condoning the practice; I find it too extreme for my tastes. But 
there are a number of people doing it. Do a search at groups.google.com 
for "LACNIC group:news.admin.net-abuse.email" to see what people are 
saying/blocking.
