If you have some ideas regarding site ripping, let us know, would gladly integrate it
I know there is a login script that plants a cookie once the member logs in, and you can set the cookie to expire in a certain amount of time so the user has to log in again. It seems like a good idea, but if a member has cookies disabled it won't work. You also have to install an apache module on the server in order for it to work, which some people may not be able to do if they are virt. hosting.

But something like that that works for every browser etc. would be great. I've seen a few other attempts to stop site rippers, but they seem more of a bandaid than an actual solution.

It would be difficult to completely stop, but if you make it enough of a PITA for a ripper to download your members area, he will probably just move on to another site.
