Wordpress as a content management tool is great, lets face it everything is in one place and the development opportunities are somewhat endless. The amount of scrapers on the web can be a real pain in the neck, so when a new plugin is developed that makes scrapers work for you rather than against you my ears pricked up.
Why not have a look at Joost’s latest working make scrapers work for you.

Thx Dan :)
Just added it to my website Dave, cheers! This has become quite a problem, but this simple solution credits good web authors with their work.
I am excited about using this plugin. Everyone is talking about it.
Thanks Joost for the dev and also thanks you Dave for sharing.
Bookmarked, subscribed and installed.
It is a brilliant way to help people find your blog but I wouldn’t think you get any link juice from a scraper site.
Nice way to do some damage control I guess, since you can’t avoid scraping all together you might get something out of it.
This won’t put an end to scraping - but at least you’ll get a little link love back from your scraped content - if it ends up getting indexed.
I’m sure the cutting edge scrapers are already figuring out a way to get around this - or to cull out the sites that use it.
