Aren't you? You put a server on the publicly routable Internet. And made it talk over HTTP. At this point I believe you've already chosen to waive your rights not to serve content.

Isn't that the same argument regarding ripping music CDs? If I pay for the musicians, manufacturing and distribution costs to put a CD in stores, etc.
Although, I think you're framing it wrong, you're not obligated to give the content, someone is just choosing to consume it in a way you hadn't intended.

You're free to stop providing the content at all.
But as long as you're providing it publicly then it makes no sense that you'd be able to dictate how it's consumed.
Isn't that their right?
