That's a good idea in terms of protecting ones own RSS feed. However, my concern isn't so much the "unapproved" or unattributed use of my own feed, but the challenge in using blogs at large, how these "automatic blogs" take away some of the most powerful advantages of the blogging phenomenon, such as finding interesting authors , "diamonds in the rough" that we might otherwise not stumble upon. I have discovered insightful thinkers through finding their blogs. These deceptive "bot blogs" adversely impact that value. Thanks. That’s a good idea in terms of protecting ones own RSS feed.

They stopped doing it very quickly.
