You can avoid loading your site in an iframe using headers.

You can go around that as a web developer by redirecting traffic through a server and kicking that header off.

After which the original source can ban your server's IP.

Let the whack-a-mole games begin.

Proxy the script and alter it... Whack. :P

That's pretty much the case for any remote content. Proxy and rewrite the response. But that added step is usually enough, especially for something as complicated as a Browser MMO.

Also, web servers should have rate limits set which would make proxying less viable, even for IP ranges.
