Most jeer at RIAA and MPAA because they think "too much money", but WE as WEBMASTERS have the SAME problem with scrapers (as do book authors, publishers, etc.)

I disagree. We have a very different problem: plagiarism vs unauthorised replication.

Most of the legal remedies would either not help us at all, or even leave us vulnerable to false claims.

If you look at the supporters of this (and all similar) legislation they are people like Rupert Murdoch who would love to destroy the internet.
