"In addition, some Webmasters may block entire class A networks because their site will not benefit from allowing access from those IP address ranges. For example, some sites may not benefit from out-of-country traffic at all, but might suffer site-scraping from other countries."

How do you block whole countries? I had a list of ip ranges once and it didn't seem all that easy to do. Many countries seemed to be assigned portions of quite a few ip ranges and due to that it seemed very difficult to sort out. Ideally, to be honest, I would block everyone but north america and europe.
