Hello, If you have a robots.txt file to communicate with web crawlers, which states that people are not allowed to scrape the images, you can take legal action against anyone who engages in unauthorized crawling. You can send a notice to the repository owner, demanding that they cease publishing code that enables others to crawl your content without permission. Additionally, you can request the website owner to remove your content. If they ignore your requests, it's advisable to consult with a lawyer and pursue legal action. |

Question
Body
Hi, I'm new to github but recently a lot of identicle websites are popping up that use 10,000s of images from my site.
And I found there was a repository on github to scrape them using selenium and therefore giving everyone a tool to do so.
But no it doesn't end there, they made another repository that clones a website to distribute my stolen content.
Is this against github rules? and what can I do?
