With a template, a database, some open source content and a little know how you can build a very large shiny site with 1000’s of pages of useful content, that looks, feels, tastes and smells like an authority - all in an afternoon and all for adsense. And Your worried about site scraping c**p.

I wouldn't call it worried, more irritated and disappointed that Google is allowing it.

I am worried about the use of supposedly 'open source content'. What do you mean by that? Some of what site builders consider 'open source' includes articles and other materials I and other content site builders have spent hours and even weeks researching and writing.
