There is one very important difference between scraper sites and search engines; it's likely sometime in the past you submitted your site to the major search engines.

Remember doing that?

Did you submit your site to the scrapers? I know I didn't. At most all search engines have to do is formalize this and they're covered under copyright. Now which of us wouldn't submit to Google if they required submission? I'm sure Google would immediately and permanently remove your site from their directory if you asked them. Try and get in touch with a scraper site. So as you can see there are significant differences.

By the way in reviewing scraper sites referencing some of my sites it appears many, many, scraper pages are now "Supplemental Result"s, perhaps soon to be gone? And coincidentally my traffic and earnings are really climbing.
