It wouldnt work simply because its the players choice if they want to shoot somebody regardless off the colour they show on the overview. The reason alliances kill neutrals is because there is the strong possibility they are a spy and are scouting out the area. If a spy could pay on enrty and show as blue, alliances would just start shooting people who are blue but arnt on the nap/friends list.
And anyway the whole point of 0.0 is the fact that it is lawless.
Yes, but if you're in a corp that is living in alliance space, and paying rent to be there, if you shoot another person that the alliance has deemed to be "Blue", then you'd better have a damn good excuse or reason for it, otherwise you, and possibly your corp will not be welcome there anymore. The first warning you get that you're not welcome may possibly be the aliance in question systematically podding anyone in your corp who undocks.
Basically, if you want to mine in "safer" 0.0 under the protection (if I may call it that) of an alliance, and you pay for it, you'd better stick to their rules, our you'll just get kicked out.
To me, the way it is done (for example by BoB) if fair enough. The alliance gets ISK into its coffers from renting corps every week for systems that they possibly dont use extensively in the first place, as well as the ability to produce items and sell items in stations/outposts in 0.0 that the renting corps have been given access to, for greater profit than they could make in Empire. The corps on the other hand get stuck into the riches of 0.0 systems and make a fat load of ISK, for reasonably little risk, in exchange for what is in reality a small ammount of ISK.
Seem to work well on the whole, everyone gets a decent deal....and I don't think anyone is a "slave" to the alliance.
Just remember to ask for access before you go.
