| Apart fromn causing heartbreak to some poor guy or gal who has more often than not sweated into the early hours of the morning for months on end, what use are these site scrapers good for - supposedly to assist with offline browsing, but if the offline browser is the legit owner of the files than surely they could have a copy to use on a machine offline anyway.
They are sophisticated too, I had to look at one (back street browser) that was used to lift a clients site - causing it to crash in the process - and it has the option to stay within the realms of the targeted site, or, the lifter can choose to follow all links and so latch onto external sites/files too...
...why????? |
