Spamhause recently re-added them:

A snippet from Spamhaus
<start snippet>
"Spamming to spamtraps for Berklee Music. Not only did the spammed spamtrap 
never opt in, it was actually *opted out* from their lists well over a year 
ago...several times...but continually spammed over and over.

Dirty lists - opt-outs keep getting re-added over and over and over again... 
It's time to permanently opt-out Roving software as a whole to solve this 
problem with continual spamming."
<end snippet>

Their record looks terrible, more here:

This one will be fun to follow as they can surely not be in these spam lists 
and Ironports Boneded Sender whitelists at the same time.
