You can replicate (download) the whole WHOIS if you need to. There is 
also no requirement that removal from reputation lists is instant. We 
would be good if it happened just within a month or even half a year. 
The situation now is however that you will never have it removed and 
many reputation services will ignore you if try to contact them for 
manual removal.

At least in the RIPE managed space there IS a reliable way to know for 
sure who owns a block. Can you know that the new owner is any better 
than the old? Of course not, but that is true even for "fresh" address 
space.

I am not a fan of reputation services that blacklist forever. It is just 
wrong and open for abuse of power. But not much I can do about that 
other than not using their service.
