The reference to my experience with MPAA/RIAA was simply to relate to the
issue, and to make a comment on the fact that in that case, these
organisations would send through a request via email.  Plaintext email is
an insecure communication.  These messages could be intercepted and altered
or blocked.  It is also a trivial matter to spoof an email.

I feel like your case of dealing with a cyber bully is different to
blocking content available to the public, however in this case I would hope
that there be better options than blocking the bullies IP, such as a
restraining order; police charges; termination of the users account with
their ISP etc, all of which deal with the matter actively against the bully
as an individual.
