There are a lot of companies moving into position with technology that helps people who care about their content. Automattic might come up with something that will also help, but that doesn't have anything to do with content scraping (a WordPress Plugin author actually came up with the technology that made it easy to steal content and others followed). WordPress isn't a do-everything blog platform, though they are doing a very good job of it. :D @Jeffro: You understand that scraping and copyright protection is not the responsibility of WordPress?

I was wondering when you would chime in, heh :) Do you think that since WordPress is at the top of their game when it comes to being a publishing platform, that they will eventually provide some great in-house tools that the masses can use to combat scraping? Or will this side of blogging always have to be handled on an individual basis? Great article Jonathan listing some alternatives in response to what happened over on WLTC.
