I am tired of people stealing my website
I have a really, really big website that I work really hard on, and it gets over 1,000 visits a day. I spend a lot of time writing the site, and researching for it, and sometimes I even spend money buying newspaper articles for my research. I do it because I like it but I DON'T like it when people plagiarize my site! I will spend a long time making a page just right and then someone will copy what I wrote and put it on their site without even saying where the info was from!
I have a page on my site explaining that if you're going to copy from me, at least put a link to me, but people don't listen. Just today I had to write another email to someone complaining because they had ripped off my site. Most times people agree to remove the stolen information or to put up a link, but sometimes they won't do anything and then I don't know what to do. Is there anything at all that I can do to prevent this from happening? It really makes me angry to see my hard work posted somewhere else without attribution.

That suckssss. Hey whats your site? I could visit it and then tell you how great it is! Haha. To stop people from copying your work... Well, if you really want to, you could sue them. But i dont suggest it. Just tell them that you could sue them, if you really wanted to, and its really rude of them. Hopefully they'll get the hint.. and stop.

It's the internet, you can't exactly prevent everyone from being an asshole.

I'm sure there's some way to copyright it so that you can take legal action against those who refuse to take the stolen info down. If it really is such a problem, I'm sure a lawyer could help you out.

Well, i dont think you should stop putting stuff on your site. Sure it's frustrating when someone takes something that is yours without permission, but you shouldn't let that stop you. In my opinion what you need is to go to google.com, put disable copy, and put one of those codes in your page so noone can copy your stuff. You can get one at [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
And remind people that it's an ilegal act to plagiarize, and they could get in big trouble for it.
