Add a reasonable fee in ToS. Something like $100 per article, and $5 per article per year for continued use in a model.

It may discourage some companies from scrapping your content.

And if they ignore the license, you may have grounds to collect the fee if it becomes obvious that they are using your content in the AI models. (Unlikely to collect though)

This raises the question: what would be a fairly affordable way to detect and prove scraping has occurred?
Considering big companies like Cloudflare and Google have teams doing this 24/7, I’d say it’s impossible to track a stealth individual behind proxies.
Check logs for the AI user agent?
