I understand this issue and really feel sorry for anyone who has to deal with this. I just don't understand how explicitly not implementing RSS would even her with this [not saying you specifically claim this]
This is what stops me from open sourcing the whole website, since it's just Markdown. It would be good to open it up to contributions, but the website is already copied enough as it is.
I understand that but lack of RSS is not going to prevent that. It's barely a roadblock for those who steal.
Publishing your website at all does that. Feeds are not at all required to scrape websites.
