Mister Copycat (MC) is still at it again and he continues to copy and paste our posts to the e-groups without duly acknowledging our site. He has managed to still send out these emails using the "forwarded by a friend" phrase even if we have disabled the right-click function on our site. It seems nothing fazes this fellow!
J and I have been brainstorming of ways to put a stop to this plagiarist. I've come up with things like making an appeal to the egroup about this matter and somehow, put MC to shame. J didn't like the idea because it would be like giving too much attention to MC and he'd probably like the spotlight. So today, with J's help, I installed a code into the site's template to disable highlighting of any text found on the site. Take that, MC! :p I'm pretty curious to find out what he'll do next.

Unfortunately, there are plenty of ways to get around methods to stop highlighting of text on a page or right-clicking. Javascript-killers and other software such as various Firefox add-ons can easily override methods site owners use to stop stealing of content.
The methods you are using will stop most content-stealers, however, another method you might also want to try (if it can be done for text) is to use a transparent gif overlay on your site. A lot of sites use transparent gifs over their image content to stop people from right-clicking and saving their pictures. Hopefully you might be able to overlay text (though it might cause problems when it comes to hyperlinks contained within the text).
Just do a Google search on "transparent gif overlay" and you should find more info.
Cheers ;)
Thank you sea eagle for your suggestion. will google it later. :)
