Technically it's not a banned list but a list of things that can't be uploaded.
She's there because she's sent us a DMCA many years ago. She's very aggressive about protecting her intellectual property.

It is nice she finds ways to fill her time.


Seriously though, don't you find the whole concept of "intellectual" property just a little offensive? By purest defintion intellectual property is just an "idea" and one can't really own that. A person can share an idea with others but that is pretty much all an idea is good for. I mean sure, there is something honorable about giving someone credit for an idea but to say one actually "owns" it is really another matter entirely. Now I do understand that the term "intellectual property", as used here and elsewhere, often means something different but I truly think they should at least use a different term. It is just a misuse of the word. An "intellect" can't really own anything anymore than an emotion can but at least "emotional property" does have a certain ring to it, (even if that is not appripo here either).
