followgreg, I've seen exactly what you're describing. I've seen some domains completely destroyed by scraping, multiple uncontrollable junk links, and outright duplication of entire page content.

There's a weakness in the algo that's allowing those practices to flourish, and unfortunately it looks like the only defense against it will be for sites of substance and means to have to engage in some of the very activities that Google is waging battle against.
