This has nothing to do with "web scraping". Scraping means downloading. What you are complaining about is copyright infringement: they are downloading your web pages and re-uploading them elsewhere. That's completely unrelated.

They're the same. It's just a matter of whether a machine or a human does the paraphrasing. With AI, the latter will become very common.

Downloading and uploading are not the same. 'Scraping' a website is just what all of us do every day.
