Hello! Author of the article here. I am working on this because I had one of my websites (which served downloads related to the game Minecraft) flooded with hundreds of thousands of requests coming from scraper bots from all around the world that even tried to download the files. This made me hit the bandwith cap of my hosting provider and had to pay extra per TB used that month from my own pocket, since the website was not making a profit at all. I never thought of increasing profits for any institution, but to stop the waste of bandwith many independent websites suffer.
