htaccess protect website from content ripping

It’s really sad to realize that your website is not unique anymore, someone ripped all the content, mysql database and even your name mentioned in it and built his scam website with your content.

It is a good idea to protect your blog or website from ripping software, here is the sollution, you can tell your apache server via .htaccess to block unwanted bots. You can add additional bots in this list.

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Anarchie [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^ASPSeek [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^attach [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^autoemailspider [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Xaldon\ WebSpider [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Xenu [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Zeus.*Webster [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Zeus
RewriteRule ^.* – [F,L]
