XF 2.1 Blocking RSS feed

[Radiola]

We have 2 different websites trying to freeload off of our content. One has proved to be impossible to stop.

antifraudintl.org

antifraudintl2.rssing.com

Even cease and desist orders have no effect with them.

The other one we just discovered the other day. https://e-mailscamalerts.blogspot.com/

We don't have anything feeding RSS into our website but we want to block others from using our content. Our members post for free. We don't want people using our work for profit.

(Move if needed and apologies if this is posted elsewhere but I didn't find it).

Is this the only way to do that?

Have you tried just adding a .htaccess redirect? Depending on what you really want to do, you could also change the RSS content length to zero so that other sites will see your titles but would need to click thru for the content.

Thanks Kevin. I haven't tried an htaccess redirect but what we really want to do is to not even feed someone else's for profit website. Ours is non-profit and our members work hard and they work for the public good, for free, and they don't want to feed another website that's just piggybacking off our content, especially in violation of copyright not to mention that these people didn't even ask if they could do that. We don't mind a link but we don't want to build up their content.
