Let my site go down and then restart my server a few hours later. I'm a dude with a blog I'm not making uptime guarantees. I think you're overestimating the harm and how often this happens.

Misbehaving scrapers have been a problem for years not just from AI. I've written posts on how to properly handle scraping and the legal grey area it puts you in and how to be a responsible one. If companies don't want to be responsible the solution isn't abdicate an open web. It's make better law and enforcement of said law.
