this is all worth nothing.
1. you don’t need right-clicking to copy a text unless highlighting is entirely disabled. all it does is annoying people who try to get the best of the browser: copying URLs, opening links in new tab, etc. and if someone _really_ wants to steal your work, they just disable JS for a little while and le voilá.
2. it is quite rude to assume that your reader and potential fan is a thief.
3. I’m sorry to disappoint you but thieves are far more interested in your credit card number than your meaning of life and blogs of common interest are typically those that should be widely quoted to reach the people and get FAME. so why prevent quoting?
4. the only thing you can prevent “theft” of literary work is unique style and topic that makes sense. if a number of people love your work and reckognize your style, it would be a very hard task for anyone to make them believe they could write _that_ piece of high quality.

Yes this is possible, but you can add content protection badges at the footer to discourage them.

Great idea. I’ve seen this implemented on a few sites before. They could probably still scrape the RSS feed though, couldn’t they?
