The enforceability of web-wrap agreements varies across jurisdictions. The question is whether conspicuous notice of the terms is sufficient to bind the visitor as opposed to proactive acceptance of the terms by the visitor. See http://gsulaw.gsu.edu/lawand/papers/su03/darden_thorpe/.

Absent a forum selection clause, you may have to pursue the alleged harvester in their home state or country which can become expensive. Assuming in arguendo that you are successfull in your suit, the judgment may not be worth the paper it's printed on. If the defendant has hid their assets or simply has none, there may be nothing to levy!
