      Ironically they’re a cybercriminal’s best friend since if they layer multiple of them together on your site they can annoy online enforcers (and in the case of scrapers, keep out) who might otherwise shut the site down.

      They don’t work so well Against targeted attacks but many searches when finding infringing sites are just searches for sites that are infringing.
