    good luck with that. you are wasting your time. while your intent is well founded, you simply can not make a difference unless you have some way to enforce what you are doing. Sad but the internet is not fair.

    If it really gets to you, you can just kill your RSS feeds. I've removed the feeds on a few WP powered sites (they were being scraped), and I haven't noticed any decline in traffic whatsoever.

    Good idea, but I do not think you'll succeed. This is a hard one!

    I think wordpress has a plugin that will prevent some of this scraping.
