Yes, I agree.  For static content pages, the content should largely render and its content should be largely digestible whether or not the client&#x27;s javascript engine is running.<p>That being said, an easy defense against webscrapers and content re-purposers is to make sure the client is running javascript.<p>Of course, there are ways around this, but I liken it to this scenario: If there are two similar houses on a block and only one has an alarm system, the cat burgler will choose the one without the alarm.
