No.
If the content is only accessible after you fill out a CAPTCHA, Google won't be able to index your content, and you won't have any visitors for scrapers to steal from you.
I suppose you could provide the content without a CAPTCHA if the user agent matches the crawlers of Google, Bing, etc. But it's still a bad idea because a lot (most?) of your users will bounce on the CAPTCHA, killing your ad revenue.

- sursani 16y agoDitto.. there is no point trying to prevent certain bots, etc from scraping your content. It's a never ending battle. Just like all the others said before me, if it's your content, you should be fine.
