They have no access to any hidden lists -- there are no hidden lists :-)
There is the listing on the stats page of urls that are currently being
reported from spam reports.

http://www.spamcop.net/w3m?action=inprogress;type=www

That page, and all the stats pages, are publicly available resources. I do
not know if they (whoever they are) are using that page or not. Let me add
that the first we heard about this tool/screensaver thing was reading
anti-spam lists/forums the same as everyone else.
