papagmp and Nautilus,
Reading between the lines of your posts, it seems you're implying that webmasters are not copyright holders because most don't shoot their own content and therefore don't have anything worth protecting.
Let's keep in mind that copyrights extend beyond pictures and audio/videos to text. Books are copyrighted by their authors or publishers. Why shouldn't original content written for websites be treated the same? If some person or bot scrapes a website for pictures, audio, videos, text or even code, all of it is content theft.
For those reasons, webmasters large and small should definitely be able to participate in this forum.
