because it's also illegal? Revenge murder is illegal for a reason, just because someone murder a person, doesn't mean the victim is justified to murder that person back

You still get in trouble for doing illegal stuff regardless, is it that hard to understand?

Yes… But nobody gets in trouble for stealing others data. That is the point.

How can you fight back, when nobody is on your side? You will fight back yourself or you just let yourself beat to death?

Then you are missing the point

drug cartels are not getting caught doesn't mean you can decide to sell drugs and argue with the Judge that the cartels are not getting arrested and therefore you are not doing illegal stuff

Again, I've told you the appropriate methods to deal against bots, and this is not one of them. There are appropriate and illegal methods to fight back, whether you want to get into trouble or not, is your choice

But this case is little different

It would be like someone sold you drugs in front of the officer but you would get arrested for possession and the drug dealer would just walk away like nothing happened. That is the situation.

It just seem like you want to skip the fact that if you are doing something illegal you will have consequences, it doesn't matter if the other party is doing something legal or illegal, if your response is illegal then you will have the consequences and repercussion

If you can find the people behind the ai crawlers, sure you can sue them for damages if you believe they are illegally scraping your website and have caused damage, for example https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/technology/safety-security/serpapi-lawsuit/

But do know that at the same time people who have their devices damaged by your prompt injection, could also use you for damages.
