Is there a definitive IP range for PICSCOUT - i want to kill the spider!

You're welcome.

Getty hasn't accused me of using the images of the ribbons/medals against their license. This was a precautionary step I took, of 'sterilizing' all my web sites to make sure that not a single questionable image remained that they could possibly come back and send me another round of extortion letters.

[Greg Troy (KeepFighting)]

With your sterilization make sure you check the wayback machine and make sure nothing is on that site and if so remove it.

[jbigfoot]

Good idea. I just sent an e-mail to archive.org asking them to remove all of my pages.

That is a good quote and I have added it to my information.  Thanks!  Also we should thank Lucia and Robert for this information.

Seems like a bit of a double standard from them - yet AGAIN.

[Jerry Witt (mcfilms)]

Yes, maybe this qualifies for a #gettyflubs tag as it might help someone in the future.

Methinks the pot just called the kettle black.

I know this topic is old, but it seems very appropriate for the task. Also I should say I haven't tested this, I just want to point out this analysis contains details about the bot:

See section Automated Filing, where the author shows logs from picscout. The referrer string can be used to serve it another page. It was (is?) a particular referrer:
