How Does One Stop A Site From Being Scraped?

Is it possible to code a page so that it cannot be scraped?

The issue of sites being scraped keeps poping up. Can one add code to a page to stop scrapers?

The most effective way to do it is to use a bot trap to find scrapers and then deny them access to your site. A member here named IncrediBILL is an expert on this topic. You'll see him posting fairly often in the Search Engine Spider Identification Forum [webmasterworld.com].
