The best way to combat this would be to
avoid situations like that. You need to set and publish rules for 'net access, basically a TOS and state in proper legalese that you retain the right to deny any customer access who violates your rules. With respect to enforcing it, as well as from a risk and maintenance point of view, you'll have to decide on the trade-off. Apart from sites you will want to blacklist regardless of the method, for protocols that can be filtered through say Dansguardian
white-listing provides less risk but restricts 'net access considerably, conversely black-listing allows 'net users more freedom but at a greater risk. That leaves you with methods and traffic that can't be filtered for various reasons like encryption (SSL, GnuPG?), proprietary protocols (Skype?) and other means of covert communication. If the risk of finding yourself in a court of law (or worse) over stuff like that is greater than the need to provide customers with less-restricted access then you should block as much as possible and again understand that white-listing trumps black-listing.
* If you want help then saying something like "
be free to deny me the information" isn't in your best interest. I suggest you refrain from doing that again unless you also want me to help you with attitude adjustment.
