    Hello,

    I am running a community forum where people write lyrics in Lyrics section but I am noticing that people have started copying whole thread and posting it to other forum which is relatively older and bigger than mine and my search results have been been affected badly. My threads are not getting listed however the other site is getting it listed somehow.

    In short google is not listing original author but the other links where it is being copied. What should I do in this situatiom, please help.

    You can buy copyrights or you can report to google for Spammers...

    I don't think Copyright Works, on their Term of Use/Service may have something like that they have no control of what their user post, they will blame it on spammers anyway.

    There are HTML codes you can use to disable right-click+Copy. This will not stop people from taking content off your site, but this will at least limit some. Make sure your copyright disclaimer is on all the pages on your site. Another option is to file a DMCA against the site copying your content.

    Hope that helps. Have a good day!

    Copyscape can't help you in that issue. Jesse12 & Affilorama is right. You can purchase copyright & use right-click disable option in your fourm. I recommend DMCA. Take care.

    You can always report content, with google to "de-index", also you can contact the persons hosting company as well.

    It won't stop scraping tools right? It may limited the manual copy/paste.
