ok, so lets summeries, it was a good discussion
to protect your site:
1. do good SEO (all textbook best practices)
2. protect your content from crawlers which may steal you content
it depends on the amount of content being takes
1. if a all page or large portions then go to the entire food chain and complains DCMA etc. and use legal actions as well
2. if small portions, try to talk with the entire food chain and talk them into the understanding that even if what the scraper did is still “legal” it is not a good behaivier and they should not support it by providing services etc. to that person
if you want to take things more deaper, it is up to you what you do and what methods and techniques you are utializing
would that be the right set of rules ?
