Protecting Your Copyright
In order to protect your content, you must copyright every one of your blog posts. This includes having a copyright symbol on your blog although content thieves often ignore this as most of them have no clue what it means.
You must also register your copyright. Registering your copyright involves someone that knows about the law doing that for you and that is not free. You have to spend some cash to register and protect your blog content under the law. However, I found a free service that protects your blog content by registering your copyright all for free. They give a unique copyright number to you, and registers each and every blog post you publish (with date and time of publishing). Myfreecopyright.com is what I use and every blog post i make is protected by copyright.
Although google updated its algorithm on detecting copied content and ranking original posts higher than plagiarized contents, some of them with good search engine optimization technique still manage to get away with it.
However, it must be mentioned that certain bloggers using auto blogging software cannot be totally categorized as plagiarists. Auto blogging involves creating a blog without doing anything but getting contents from other blogs's RSS feed automatically. To make this work to your benefit, be sure to link your posts. This means you should always reference your older posts in your blog as they give you a free backlink each time your content appears on their blogs.
How To Report Content Thieves
If the blog stealing your content and infringing on your copyright is hosted on blogger or using any product by google including google adsense, you can file a complaint under Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Google has a page for this where you can report content thieves.

You can as well report a wordpress blog to it's host . To know the host, running a nameserver look-up will definitely help. Most web hosts have their terms of service and having contents infringing other people's copyright might simply be a way of violating this terms of service. If you have as much dislike for content thieves as I do, then fight them and protect your creation.

Don. Well done on a good job. I like this...
What actually does it mean to copy another man's "hard" work?
Is it by writting the same blog that another blogger has written but maybe adding more infos and making some changes to it?
If this is what it mean then 99.8% of blog writers are guilty of this offence.
why because if for example you write specifications on Nokia C3, somebody somewhere have already written that before you and you just copied from that writer.
Then if you say this is not what it means to copy another blogger, then what is it?What actually does it mean to copy another man's "hard" work?
