My experience running Open Content sites is that people who create
mirrors generally have good intentions and would like to retain a
positive relationship. They don't abuse your bandwidth because they want
to screw you over; they do it because they think you're so big you won't
care.

Usually a quick email to the registered domain owner has been enough to
see some changes on the site -- reduced hotlinking, better attribution,
some differentiation of brand.
