These Web Content International a-holes need to be stopped. To be crawling on the scale that they do, they *really* should play by the rules (like identifying their UA properly and respecting robots.txt). I recently blocked them (after they hammered my site), giving them a 403 page. Look at this morning's example from my logs below. 5 hits in 1 second using 5 different UserAgents. Lies.
