PageJacking is a serious (and growing) problem again. The big change has been that Yahoo's algo is more on the page focused than Googles or Ask Jeeves/Teoma. This has made it profitable for the page jackers to start spidering content again.

Then there are the search engines themselves. By displaying our pages from their site (they call it caching... it is not), they have distorted copyright law for their own advancement without prior permission.

Some plausible courses of action for webmasters:

a) add a no archive tag to all pages that are indexable by search engines.
b) protecting yourself from page jackers by cloaking.
c) running spider monitors to ban any thing that looks like an unacceptable spider on your site.
d) nuke the se's entirely and require cookies to navigate your site.
e) do D above but give the se spiders a cookie free pass.
f) require login and buy traffic from your neighbors site ;-)

The serps getting indexed is nothing new. That's been there since the start of the engines themselves.
