  Hi

  I have a copyright notice at the bottom footer section of my site to prevent people from using my content

  Does having copyright notice stop people from using your content or it doesn’t matter

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  A copyright is just like a traffic sign: most people will limit their speed but there will always be people who ignore it. Their are several ways to make it more difficult to copy your content, but there is no 100% protection.

  But I still don’t understand if I have a copyright notice on the site shouldn’t that protect my content

  If it strictly says copyright prohibited then how is it not 100% protection

  Because my blog is my blog. Who would want to copy that

  Because a copyright notice are just words, it’s not a physical or digital protection. If someone decides to copy your content, he just can despite your copyright notice.
  As I already said and as mentioned at https://en.support.wordpress.com/prevent-content-theft/ “However, remember that there is no way to fully guarantee the complete protection of your work.”
