Anything one writes, draws, paints, photographs etc., is automatically copyrighted to that person. Another example, is that if you requested permission to reprint a picture from a newspaper, unless that newspaper also purchased the copyright from the oroginal photographer, you would also have to find the photographer and obtain permission from him/her.
You cannot copyright names, such as Jane, Elizabeth, Henry or Robert, for obvious reasons.
If you steal websites or pages from websites, they have obviously been written by someone else and so are actually copyrighted to that person. You can request/demand, that they be taken down, within a certain number of days. Most usually, the person will do as requested. Some probably will not, but one could make it very difficult and possibly embarrassing for the perp. Making the fact very public, would probably encourage the perp to remove the stolen page. This especially on forums or Facebook, where the perp is known to many people.
Considering the enormous number of websites out there, those who have the gall to actually copy whole sites or pages, really is relatively small. Most of the time, we never know if someone has stolen our work. When I discovered my stolen page, it was purely by accident.
