I mean all these companies scrape your sites and then monetize it without giving you part of the profits. The only difference is that you see these others as getting you traffic, so does Bitacle somehow get you less traffic? Explain how them exposing your work to more people gets you less traffic? Or is it that you only want traffic that is expressly paid for through advertisement, and not through crawling your sites and republishing, in part or in whole, your RSS feeds? If this is the case have you contacted these other companies and requested that they as well stop scraping your content and RSS feeds while using it for their monetary gains? The net is a big place and only getting bigger. There are those that produce content, and those that help spread content to the masses. We are lucky that the business model is not moving towards strictly paid advertisement and paid directories. This would add even more corporatism the net and keep little individual publishers from being able to compete. I am sure the majority will not see this, they fall into the "mine mine mine" state of mind and never realize that what they are asking for is to take their toys and go home. Really if you believe that your words are owned by you and usable only under your terms and conditions, then password protect your sites and require any readers or feed users to be accepted and OK'd by you.

One of the major things you can do is set your blog to only send a few lines of your content in your feed. Have you noticed that you can only read a line or two of my posts in bloglines? In WordPress, that’s controlled under Options -> Reading -> Syndication Feeds - set to Summary. This actually appears to be effective, since the main feeds of my new blog are not appearing in bitacle. They were getting the Comments feed, which I have disabled.
