What about if my index says "This are the EULA, by clicking "Next" or "Enter", you are accepting them", and a LLM scrapper "clicks" Next to fetch the rest of the content?

That's how the big software companies have been doing it to us for years, so it does seem like turnabout would be fair play.

"Ah, but for us, it's unenforceable, it's for you little people."
"Copyright? Well if you are a big label, we probably need to talk. Little people? Oh fuck you, just give us your money and creative output."
I think you’re confusing copyright with a EULA. You would need users to agree to the EULA terms before viewing the material. You can’t hide contractual obligations in the footer of your website and call it copyright.
