As someone who has done a lot of scraping in the past - you just need to change the CSS classnames or re-design your pages once in a while :) This breaks a lot of automated bots that extract semantic meaning from a webpage by using html + regexp parsers.
I would suggest staying away from using JS as it affects genuine users as well (e.g. those who use screen readers).
