Ummm, how about just not putting their lists in your directory in the first
place unless they ask for it? This is called "opt-in". It's a good thing.
What you practice is "opt-out" which is a bad thing because unless whoever
I sent my demand to actually followed it and removed my lists from your
"service" I have to go to your server and clean up after you.

I don't want anyone doing anything to my lists through your "service". How
difficult is that to understand?

If the list owner went and added the list to your "service", they'd be
aware of it and you wouldn't have this problem. But because you insist on
forcing us to opt out, you have this dilemma. And if course, you end up
pissing us off to boot.

Do not add value to my lists. To me, you are adding profit to my lists.
If I wanted anyone to make money off of my lists, it would be me, not you.
