Some bot can and will use a real browser, in a real window, opening many sessions, randomising usage patterns to look more human, and continue doing what they already do.
- kuschku 9y agoSome people just hire actual humans to do this, for cheap.
- chii 9y agoif a human is allowed to do something on a site, it goes to reason that a bot should be allowed too (granted using the same access frequency as a human). Blocking scraping is like DRM. Don't do it. Use a legal mechanism to deal with copyright infringement, and use acceptable usage policy to deal with heavy users that are using more than their "fair" share of bandwidth.
