You can not stop this, unless you turn your entire page into an image (and even that's not 100%).

There are a few tricks, but those work with css (place a hidden div over it) or JavaScript (the terrible "no right click allowed"), but they don't use a browser.
They use a (scrapper)bot, which means they get the source, where those solutions aren't applicable.

You should start by adding a cannonical tag to your page, with little luck that'll help a bit. If you dont have it, add a XML sitemap and submit that via Google Webmastertools. It might help Google index your pages first, giving your some of the visitors back.

You could load a paragraph of text, and then use AJAX to load the rest of the articles. That will prevent them from downloading it, but it will also limit your SEO value as bots have a harder time finding the content as well.

If you have the time, you could try to find out the USER AGENT they sent when they visit, researchfor a list user names, and block those via htaccess.
If you can, add region locks. E.g.: I dont have visitors from Russia on my site, I could block IP's from Russia.

Legal action could be an option, but I'm not a lawyer, I don;t know your exact rights here.
