Bravo! Every one who can has an ethical obligation to do work like this. Idiosyncratic and individualized systems to mess with scrapers make it much harder for those running the scrapers to deal - they have to figure out each individualized resistance system.

Is there any work that attempts to figure out if zip bombs or other systems of resistance to scraping have an effect on real scrapers?

I wouldn't mind a open source initiative of some sorts to collect this data and battle them.
