Arsehole ripping entire sites using a wild card.

Its a proxy server. The following code will block it:

.htaccess

deny from 219.129.21.137

If you have an ErrorDocument 403, it will rewrite those through it's system.

However, since it is a proxy, and it is serving dupe content, I would think it would be worse to allow the proxy to continue since google could deem it as duplicate content.

This will at least break it for javascript compliant people. Meta-refresh's, location redirects, etc are all rewritten.

.htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^219\.129\.21\.137$
RewriteRule .* http://domain.com/br.html [R,L]

br.html

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var sMyDom = 'dom'+'ain'+'.com';
if (top.document.domain != sMyDom) {
top.location.replace(document.URL.replace(document.domain, sMyDom));
}
</script>

I'm not quite sure it was originally done with malicious intent -- it is a caching proxy server running on IIS it seems. I think someone just had a link that was followed, and google did its thing.

Here's a tip that has worked well for years, because that site is FAR from the only site the rips content, keeping a htaccess code preventing them can be a pain or almost impossible.

However, to my knowledge no bots can submit a form, and you can pretty easly add form links to your site, like when clicking on a gallery or on a pic.. Surfers won't know the difference between it and a standard link, but making it impossible for a bot to rip your entire site...
