This software strikes me as the work of a lazy programmer more than an irresponsible company (of course, lazy programmers probably work at irresponsible companies). It would never be in a company's best interest to destroy the servers of the content providers they hope to bring to their customers. Seems to me the more likely thing is that the software was just written poorly (Ok, VERY poorly) and now that the company realizes that, they've fortified themselves by directing everything to useless forums. My guess is that we aren't the first site to have this happen, and that they've probably honed their skills of avoidance.
Therefore, I think blocking them at our level is best, and moving on. I realize some people want to help us out, but I don't think Jason is ready to take it beyond a block, and I don't think it really makes much sense.
Of course, I may be wrong, and Jason may feel especially vengeful tonight :twisted:
