Sure but that's a whole different part of the system. Society as a whole has to change (some guillotines would help) and no matter how cool Codeberg is, they can't do all that on their own.
In the meantime, what the elites visibly respond to and that is more readily accessible is monetary costs. Make it costly (operationally or legally) to scrape sites, and they'll stop if at least to whine.
