I'm assuming you at least got though middle school where the subject was
covered, but here's a refresher...
Giving CREDIT to the original author is called a reference.
Copying and pasting word for word without giving credit to the author is
plagiarism.

Whether you give credit or not, it's copyright violation unless you have
the permission of the copyright holder or it falls under one of the
"fair use" exceptions.

There is for some reason a persistent notion that using someone else's
work is lawful as long as you give credit. It is not.


The copyright aspect really wasn't the point.
Someone in here once used the term, "Googlectual."
