IP based reputation has served us well, but it's no longer relevant. IPv4 has reached exhaustion, carrier-grade NAT is being deployed and the idea that an IP address correlates with one person or a very small group of people no longer holds. You can sort of pretend it does if you only serve america and europe, but that will change too.
