By the way - thinking of all this - why would not you turn this scraper into a free advertisement for you ? If you can detect when it crawls your site, just insert randomly the backlinks to your site into the content you give out to them. This way you will want that they steal more from you :-) (how to put these backlinks in a way that would be difficult to remove - is another story. But if you use other links, e.g. tinyurl, in your material - then you could probably use that :-) Still fairly simple to remove but would require more work from them.)
