Copyrighting is it really essential?

[Fenton_Fenton]

Hello friends,
I have made a blog of my own consisting my creations like poems in it. I don’t want someone to use my creations on his names. Is web copyright possible so that I can make my blog consisting my poetic creations secured?

you could disable right clicking and that will stop the copy and paste simple way they could still use the shortcuts but most people when they copy it put down where they recived it from but if you see your work anywhere e-mail the webmaster of the site and tell them that there breaking copyright thefted

Copyrighting don't exactly stop people from claiming it as their own...
Some people just never learn lol
I've seen numerous amounts of people just taking stuff and saying 'It's theirs'.

Copyscape.com provides the warning. If someone copies it anyways, then you could take legal action against them.

how would a person be able to disable right clicking?...lets say on blogs such as b evolution...?

[xPlozion]

by using javascript to detect the right click, but it's a bad practice in web design.

Then...I am not sure, but I thought that as long as your site is hosted in the USA what you put on your site is automatically copyrighted and thus belongs to the one who owns the site/s with the information....?
Edit:

K i got it, thankyou....if it's bad practice for whichever reason I will try to refrain from such scripts...

it's possible, there are quite a few sites who try that. I forget the code for it, but it's done in javascript, so someone just disables javascript in their browser then they refresh the page, and they can copy everything they want... So, it's only effective against those who know nothing about the browser tools.
In short, trying to use any forms of 'force' to prevent copying won't really work. Those who are determined to do it, will find a way around.
The only effective stop is legal action. This includes creativecommons and copyscape.
