Web Scrapers Violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act makes it a crime to create software
that allows a user to get around any copy protection used to stop
theft of copyright content.

Companies that create bots that fake useragents to get around our blocks
violate the DMCA.

We need a class action lawsuit against these software authors that create Web Scrappers.
