Existing copyright law already forbids you from copying and redistributing the creative works of other. More laws won’t stop anyone from violating the law. The problem with content scrapers is that its so easy to hide your identity, so easy to scrape content, and so damned easy to be approved into advertising programs.

Exisiting copyright law is, as the author says, hard to use. Making those laws easier to use for blatant commercial violation is a good thing.

Fines should follow the money if they can't resolve on the party directly responsible. Advertisers can buy insurance and insurance companies can vet domains.
