The DNC list provides you the legal right to take action against people who call you. It doesn't block anything. Criminals will use it, but IF they can be tracked down, there is a legal basis to prosecute them. The list makes the caller's activity sanctionable. Without the list, there would be no remedy against them. On a practical basis, though, while they can be prosecuted, it doesn't do much to stop the bad spanners and fraudsters from calling and they know they can probably get away with it.
