Save the Open Web from Evil Scraping Bots
ERIC HELLMAN
I don't have any good answers but I'd like to discuss this with others. Websites like Internet Archive and Project Gutenberg are having trouble providing open access to content while being overwhelmed by badly behaved bots scraping content to train AI models. In response, Most open content websites are closing their websites to bots in general, even good, essential bots. How can we build a distributed system to facilitate and enforce good behavior by bots?
