If you publish your data in a friendly manner bots would have no need to crawl your site.

Data that is more interesting and requested a lot could even be served over p2p.

This moderl would generate less cost that dealing with constant bot scrappers.

It is not a technical discussion. Or a discussion about associated cost. It's a discussion about morals and economic models.
