The web should have had a Terms of Usage from start. Something like
"If you broadcast content on the internet, expect people to download it."
This. I always say this exact thing.
If you provide content for free, expect people to take it for free.
Even if you don't intend to provide it for free, if it's possible to, expect it. No different from Walmart complaining about increased theft after replacing cashiers with self checkout - tiny violins.
