As this affects of all of us to varying degrees, perhaps we should use the power of the CAP Community to the greater good. Any ideas and suggestions how we can start to fight back?
Well we all know how I feel about the subject. I am usually polite with scrapers and ask kindly to stop. If that doesn’t work then I contact the ISP the scraper resides on. Then I submitt a spam report to the SE’s. If all all these things fail. Then It get personal, I will email a satelite image to the person in question along with his/her relatives and hand the scraper over to malicious hackers. They love the challenge. these people are theives/criminals they should be treated as such.
Fight back? I would love to see that happen. To be honest I get the feeling alot of people are intimindated by these thugs. For fear of retribution, people often do nothing but watch it happen. Honestly, and I may offend here, no one is up the challenge.
I attack the problem 3 hours a day. I tell you this if something isn’t done soon you will all be losing cash. Some of the scripts I have seen latley are getting better.greek39
