some of them will go in .htaccess and some in robot.txt
where you see structure as follows add them to lines in robot
User-agent: 008
Disallow: /
The IP address you will add to htaccess like so
order allow,deny
deny from 82.80.249.150
deny from 72.26.211.146
allow from all
etc
Of course the intention of blocking image scrapers would not be to allow you to perform copyright infringement, but it would alllow you to be better defended from band width eating image scrapers and devious companies like those sending extortion letter to people who should be getting take down notices. I have never heard of a more disturbing business model than this and I encourage everyone vaguely concerned to take up arms to defend themselves.
