I agree, as much as I would like to sue the owner of the bots scraping my personal website...

But if it turns out to be a large international company, I'm kindof screwed... A regular person can't go after the Amazon's and Alibaba's.

what? the big guys are the easiest to sue, they almost always settle. it’s the smaller/shady fraudsters who ignore the court summons, so you get a default judgment that you can never collect because they’re impossible to find.
