I believe that there is a script or code that is used to disable copying. Depending on Wordpress or Blogspot, there might be some difference though.

I have seen many contents removed through this link...

you can try Google Webmaster Groups they can tell you what to do next.

You can't disable the right click button from your blog.....then u should copyright all ur contents ASAP with creative commons or somethings like that......U may contact that person via his/her about/contact page, and warn him to remove all the contents.....and Google group idea is also quite good

few months back some1 copied around 3 article from my blog, So i contacted google through that link and google removed that content from showing on google search result. He used rss of my blog to copy that article. Now I have added my blog url and authorship on my rss. So if some1 copies article through rss then he will also copy my blog link and my authorship..

One thing you can do is join dmca.com and add a batch to your  blog.

Your Blog is on Blogspot, why don't you buy a domain and webhosting, Wordpress is a great Platform..

If you need any help in the blogspot to wordpress tranfer feel free to contact me..

It may be a news aggregator. It reads / scans through your blog and copies content. I have had faced this in the past but soon, Google will realize that this is a mere aggregator but it also means it affects you still. 

I am too looking for a one solution to avoid this, but you cant say it will be coz people will still find ways to steal.

For now you can share the link of the one who is copying and ask others to report/ shame him

Well, the best thing you can do is to report this to Google or go to DMCA (dot ) com. You can use copyscape to find most of the published urls with your content.

Best method is to write a blog post which is related to your previous works/posts. That means without refering your past posts, your current blog post is not complete. You should always link your previous pages (inter-linking) in your blog post. So it makes difficult for others to copy your content and claim as theirs.

Yea Correct but first talking to the admin of the site whose copying would be a gud idea before complaining.. and if he does not removes the content then we can go help for DMCA

I guess the best you can do is disable copy-paste on your blog. This will require the plagariser to type wverything out, and let's hope he is too lazy to do that. Best of luck...this is becoming a big problem in the bloggig world, and you're definitely not alone. Check out the plagarism thread on this forum.

Thats a very good idea... I'm on it now..

Thanks Anirudha.
