Scraper Sites Increase at Astonishing Rate

RandFish at SEOMoz looks into the worrying trend in the high number of scraper pages per genuine ones:
For an example, note this linkdomain search, showing 15,000+ links (you can actually browse to page 99 and see that there really are that many). Since, in the last 6 months, the site (a client of ours) has only gotten referral traffic from about 2,000 URLs, I can assume that at least 7,500 (half), if not many more, are simply scrapers. That's a very, very high percentage of links that are "bad neighborhoods". I have to wonder how effectively this can be combatted...
