My feelings about it aren't mixed at all.. it's simple economics, these guys will crush you if you don't block it.
Does anyone know of a way better than htaccess blocks? I imagine you could come up with various ways to server the content up dynamically but that's quite an undertaking.

Me, I have mixed feelings about it. They have paid for the content and some members with crappy connections like to download all night so it will be on their hard disk.
I've thought about putting in an htaccess with a couple hundred blocks, but you'd be lucky to catch 50% that way.
