How to stop one of your plugin users scraping my blog
-
One of your plugin users is scraping my blog, reposting my articles and using photographs I pay for. I can see he’s using your plugin and despite doing the following, I can’t get him to stop scraping my site:
* Changed my RSS feed to only include an excerpt, then I
* Changed my RSS feed to only include the title using Feedburner
* Use Cloudflare to block scrapers
* Use Yoast SEO pack to include a message about my feed on each entry
* Contact him & his web host – both failedAnd in all, he keeps adjusting the plugin or finding a way around whatever I do, to keep posting articles directly from my site. I only have titles on my RSS feed now, so how is he able to go back to my site and scrape full articles, still?
Short of linking him back with a pi$$ed off message asking him to stop, so he’ll see it in his referrals, I’m stuck.
Can you suggest anything to block your plugin from my site? The photography agency who I buy the pictures from were said that they’d be interested to get their legal team involved, so it’s in his interest to remove my images/stop crawling and scraping my site.
