Ok....
Banning IPs won't help much, because they might just use rotating IPs.
Banning known offline user-agents
could help, but that is also easy to override (they are sending fake user-agent info).
If you have movies, put it in javascript (the agent usually can't read that) - and text outside (for SE). The downside of this is surfers who disabled javascript.
If you have a decent CPU on your server, then trick their "browser" into fake links with long delays (like a cgi link) or fake targets that temporarily kill and ban too many attempts. This will lag or cut off their agent temporarily. (might be a very good idea to use robots.txt on those links because you do not want to trick google..)
You can also create something that their agent doesn't understand to sort out. The more garbage, the better. For instance, if you have invisible links to the "tubegirl"
, they will end up with all kinds of shit, they have to sort out manually.
You can also structure your site in a way that has no logic and is hard to restructure for a software.
You can also watermark your stuff with "licensed to...", but talk with your sponsors before doing that. And if they promote same sponsor, then you should talk about that too
