  1. It doesn’t prevent content theft.

  2. It’s easily defeated – from what we know of the current generation of scrapers, they already strip out fingerprints like this.

  3. It’s not GPL, so we can’t legally link it with other GPL code.

  Good lord, even *I* (and I am no techie) can get around that.
