With lawyers, I suppose.

There is no way to prevent site mirroring for bad reasons -- httrack already
has many protections against bandwidth abuse, it does not have any multiple
proxy round-robin features, and I refused to include an "email grabbing"
option that was requested many times.

But as many users are mirroring their own site, and many administrators are
also mirroring their site (and/or creating static copies for performance
issues), you can /also/ copy a site to a public location, without asking
permission.

It's like taking a picture of someone without his permission: you can not
blame the camera manufacturer, but you probably can do something against the
camera's owner.

You just discovered that spammers are stupid, and how you can easily prove
that the copied site was actually a /copy/.
