How to block Site Import?

I would like to block others from downloading my site, as the WebAssist site does. How is that done?

It can't really be done. We blocked ours directly in the extension and it could be easily removed. Since the site import is just a spider that browses your site, the only way to prevent it from being imported is to prevent it from being browsed. Another option is to hide all of your links in flash, but anything you do to block site import would probably hurt you in search engine optimization since it uses the same concepts.
