Blocking Cyveillance

Cyveillance is a spybot that scours the web for copyright violations and “damaging information” on behalf of clients such as the RIAA and MPAA. Their robot spoofs its User-Agent to look like Internet Explorer, and it completely ignores robots.txt. I have banned it by IP address.
