At some point we'll have to create our own walled gardens and throttle traffic to non-logged-in users heavily or outright forbid them.

Its sad that it has to come to this. But especially when those "scrapers" are in a foreign country, you can't even do anything legally.



Alternatively, be OK with the fact that anything you put in public can be used for anything and by anyone, regardless of licensing and laws. A pirate's dream basically.

Personally, when I first got connected to the internet around ~1999, that was the approach I've followed since, I don't share things I am not OK with others to use for whatever they want.
