If others are stealing your data you can mark it to later make a 
complaint. Atlases have long put fake details on maps as a way to prove 
when someone steals the data. Do things like that.

If enough stealing is happening, hire a whole department to fight the 
unending fight. You can be sure Amazon has lots of people working to 
make large sale web scraping harder (but not impossible); for them it is 
worth an unending fight.
