For many web publishers and legitimate content producers, web scrapers are frustrating and hated. There are even companies that take non-automated approaches to copying content from one website and placing on their own site. Ironpaper has been noticing a number of other web design and development companies (in the US, UK and other locations overseas) that copy our content and place it on their websites.
Google is intent on fighting such impostures. They have begun a campaign to get the public involved. You can now report these copy cat websites and companies via a Google report service (request for scrapers): https://goo.gl/S2hIh
