Rile a complaint with google. You have that right to do that.

And, chances are, they are stealing content from other sites. So if they are not reported, other webmasters will be hurt too.

There are many no right click scripts you can use online. They are available on webmaster tool sites.

Hello,

This is easily done with javascript. However, people can easily bypass the javascript with the browsers built-in inspector tools. The best way to get the content removed is to email the webmaster of the website with a take down notice by DMCA. If they fail to comply, then contact search engines and I'm sure they'll remove it.

Best Regards,
Everett

There is always a printscreen + MS paint. It takes 30 seconds more time.

Complain about it. It is not right that they can get away with it and they should not either.

Contact them first and tell them that you want the material removed as it is yours. If they do not comply, then report them to the search engines.

They might not know it if they are outsourcing their work. Confront them before doing anything rash.
