Sigh. Well, would you at TDF be interested in collaborating on regular (or not) updates to that list? Again, I believe having such a list mutually benefits us.
I think that all free software projects should inform about the risks of download fraud (since we're all affected), and everyone can cooperate on that. GIMP, Inkscape and others are affected like we are.
However, I guess that when it comes to trademark issues that can legally infuence a mark's existence, and collecting private data of people complaining about fraud, this should be first handled in the respective project's trademark teams. Otherwise I think it would be legally too risky.
What cannot hurt, of course, is from time to time to exchange solely the links of the most fraudulent sites, to check if we see a pattern. If that could be organized on a wider scale, including many projects, that sure would benefit everyone.
