I've seen a great deal of live mirrors, and generally the devs tell me
that whenever they block one, it will spring up from another IP, and
that they don't bother. There is/was a page on meta
(
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Live_mirrors) which is very inactive
and which I don't see any comments from devs on, plus reporting en
masse is a hassle.
If there is another more active page, I'd love to know about it,
otherwise I can post here. An old list is at

music.musictnt.com:
".is likely querying WP in real-time to serve-up WP's content +/- as-is, if
not for the the lack of a proper GFDL notice. Aside from the copyright
issues, this way of "Mirroring" is a drain on WP's bandwidth and server
resources."
The user also mentioned that there was no clear place to contact about this
type of problem. He now knows to contact Wikitech-l, but we may wish to
advertise that more. (But that is a separate discussion entirely.)
I have not investigate this matter at all, I am just relaying the message.
Thanks,
