| Year | Target Site | Ripper’s Method | Outcome | |------|-------------|----------------|---------| | 2018 | | Scraped product images & descriptions via a headless browser; launched a clone site with a “.net” domain. | The original filed a DMCA notice; Google de‑indexed the clone after confirming copyright infringement. | | 2021 | TechGear.co | Utilized API sniffing to harvest inventory data; republished on a price‑comparison portal without attribution. | A lawsuit under the CFAA resulted in a $1.2 M settlement and an injunction against further data harvesting. | | 2023 | Toticos.com (hypothetical) | Parallel crawling of the entire catalog, re‑hosted on a “Toticos‑store.com” domain. | Toticos.com invoked both copyright and trademark claims, issued cease‑and‑desist letters, and engaged a CDN‑level bot‑mitigation service, which reduced traffic to the rip site by 85 %. |
