One of my web hosts (
http://www.fxstudios.net) offers hotlink protection on accounts so that others can't steal your images. One thing is to steal your content, but your bandwidth too? That's outrage! Check with your ISP; not all offer hotlink protection but if this is a serious issue for you this can be a step towards disuading some from content theft.
I checked a couple of client URLs and it did draw some duplicate content which could be confused with scrapers. For example we have a standard company introduction for one client which is often used on third party sites as link text descriptor, as well as on the homepage of the client company's website. It seems a useful tool; thanks for sharing it.
