wouldn’t make much sense to sign an agreement you are already in violation of.

Satan’s lever.

IF there is documentation, IF it is even covered in documentation, IF documentation is using the sameish keywords, IF documentation is accurate and IF documentation is up to date.

no such luck for me there. the music is in /artist/album directories. I had considered flattening it all out to see if that makes a difference.

the randomizer in my car sucks so it’s the same 100 of those 11,000 songs. :-/

“bread and circuses” has been an effective strategy for thousands of years.

you have to hold the phone in a very specific and awkward way to get a signal tho.

so they will have threads caught in pit and other threads stealing content. not only did you waste time with a tar pit your content still gets stolen.

any scraper worth its salt, especially with LLMs, would have garbage detection of sorts, so poisoning the model is likely not effective. they likely have more resources than you so a few spinning threads is trivial. all the while your server still has to service all these requests for garbage that is likely ineffective wasting that bandwidth you have to pay for, cycles that can be better served actually doing somehthing, and your content STILL gets stolen.

if they are stupid and scrape serially. the AI can have one “thread” caught in the tar while other “threads” continues to steal your content.

with a ban they would have to keep track of what banned them to not hit it again and get yet another of their IP range banned.

why bother wasting resources with the infinite maze and just do what the old school .htaccess bot-traps do; ban any IP that hits the nono-zone defined in robots.txt?

is Zope/Plone still a thing?

it considers names as PII and refuses…?

I just wish I could change the screening messages.

don’t worry, the reddit detectives will find him based on the backpack.

folks always sleeping on “kindergarten cop”.

when things are designed one way and then implemented another.

I am a big advocate of the KISS strategy. look forward to seeing more of what you got.
