Is there a way to restrict how often guests can refresh?

Sometimes the truth hurts, but its important to understand the limitations of what you can do. You can ban an ip, but it will probably change and come back.

You can make it so only registered users can view content, but then your search rankings go down.

You can make some content pay only, but chances are if its stuff people want someone will steal it, and hopefully they don't do it with a stolen credit card.

I do think you should fight, just be ready for the long haul.

If they're actually stealing and rehosting your content on their site, you could try a DMCA, but it may or may not work.
