Wattpad (and most other writing sites) disables the copy function in your browser, but this is trivial to defeat if you know anything about computers. But it doesn't matter. It's unlikely that anyone will care enough to copy your story. If they do, every story on Wattpad has a date and time when it was posted. A copy of your story will have a later date and time on it, which acts as proof that you wrote it first, so it will be easy to contact Wattpad and get them to take the copy down. (So if you find that someone copied your story, don't do what some idiots do, which is to take the story down so that no one else can copy it. The damage is done at that point, and taking it down destroys the evidence that it was yours. Wattpad might keep backups for a while, but then again they might not, and if they have to take the time and effort to

But everything posted online can be copied. There are methods to go right down to the text. That is the good and bad news. The good news is it doesn't matters that much.

Yes, it's true. Of course, someone could still retype your story word by word if they REALLY wanted to steal it, but the chances of that happening are so small as to be near impossible. And, in the unbelievably unlikely event that it did happen, all you'd have to do is report the copied material to Wattpad. They tend to act very quickly when it comes to things liike that, and once they see that someone has copied your material, they will remove the offending story. Arabella · 3 years ago 3

I don't think you can copy and paste on any major writing site. But that won't discourage the really dedicated scammers who will sometimes painstakingly rewrite a story word for word. That's just the risk you have to take if you post online, though. But your story will always have the earliest publication date, so it'll be easy to prove it's yours. cкє∂ ємєя∂ 0

Its not that no one can copy and paste it, they still can, however most of the time there will be people who find out and tell you. You can also use other sites, Figment and Scribd as recommended by https://ramisatheauthoress.wordpress.com... . Hope this helps. R · 3 years ago 0

I would recommend you get a copyright and that you explicitly state that you do not want your story to be reproduced in any kind without your permission. Do this by writing it and selecting a type of such in the settings section. Good Luck! Laura · 3 years ago 0
