You can either put "Don't" in your "Terms and conditions" (which in most countries in the world and for most internet users translates to "Pretty please") or be honest with yourself and your users that your site, whether you want it or not, is an API and build it like a good API. Side effect of acknowledging that might be that you actually will put in place some throttling mechanisms that will prevent guy with just a handful of machines from downloading the data of 2.8 million users in reasonable time: http://yakamo.org/?p=112 http://yakamo.org/?p=112
