It is the person who is blocking the private driveway's fault because they should have known not to park in front of a private driveway in the first place. However, if the private driveway is not marked with a sign of some sort to let people know that it is private, it may be the driveway owner's fault.

Who is at fault when someone is backing out of a driveway and hits a car semi blocking that driveway?
The car that is moving is normally the one at fault. No matter how someone is positioned you should not drive into them (going forward or in reverse). It therefore seems to me that the car backing out of the driveway is at fault.
Who is at fault if a car is parked at the edge of a driveway and a car from the driveway backs into the parked car?
The person backing up can be held accountable, since he is responsible for knowing what is in his line of backing. However, you can also be held responsible for blocking his driveway, this is considered a safety hazard. Most city ordinances have laws against parking on sidewalks and blocking private entranceways and driveways. So, you both could be in trouble but the car blocking the driveway will be cited with stiffer fines. Note that most states have some form of comparative negligence in analyzing cases like this. It is likely that the vehicle blocking the driveway would be assigned some level of negligence for blocking the driveway. However, it is probable that the majority (if not all) of the negligence would be assigned to the person backing out of the driveway, because his vehicle was in motion and he is supposed to be aware of its direction and speed of travel and any potential hazards it may encounter in its path. If I had to make a guess, negligence might be assigned 90/10 or 80/20. Depending on the jurisdictions form of comparative negligence, any damages would be split accordingly.

What are the laws on parking on a public street blocking driveway access in Cincinnati Ohio?
I have had cars towed for blocking my driveway. It is the city's responsibility to tow cars that are on a public road that block driveways. If someone blocks your driveway, don't call 911. Call your district police station and either they will put the call out or will direct you to the correct number. It may take up to two hours to get a tow truck to your place. However, if someone parks in your driveway, I think it's your responsibility to get someone to tow that car.
