Right. I don't care what scrapes my site, but I get tired of getting tens of thousands of hits in an hour, coming from an array of IPs at AWS or other cloud providers so they can all hammer my little server at once. I block them at the firewall when it happens so it doesn't take down the web server, but it's tiresome to have to do that.
