Although those of us who are card counters and not cheats (and you are right, counting cards is legal, marking cards is not) feel it's not fair, both cheats and card counters can end up in the black book. I used to know a little more about the book (who maintains it, etc.) but have forgotten.
From the casino's perspective, both are equally unacceptable activities, hence the tendency to put both in the black book, which is for subscribing casinos to use to identify people they don't want to play in their casino -- but of course, a cheat CAN be prosecuted if evidence is available, while a card counter can not, since no law is broken.
But don't get me started on that topic... :)

It was actually for marking cards, not counting cards. I sent out a
correction right after the initial email. Counting cards is legal.
