Is copied content really that bad?

OK, ladies and gent...I don't think many more people will add to this discussion so here is my 2 cents - you can copy material and make a ton of money doing just give the original writer credit for it. If you add you're 2 cents to the article and watch what happens. I know over a dozen people who do it and make good money but there is a right way and a wrong way for this process...yes I know someone is going to kill me on this I have some of thee most profitable sites to list (in case) on the in

yes this is not good! You can refer on them for ideas but copying them is not advisable as it will give readers doubts of your products.

Terry, yeah I know it stinks but anything you put on the internet now a days is free game. Nothing much you can do about. Thanks.

As a blogger, I get really upset when someone copies my articles and I don't even get mentioned.
It is called plagiarism and is a illegal offense in most places.

Thanks Keith, Wanda and Patty for your share.

Yes! The only way you can use copied content is to give the original author credit. If you do not do that it is considered plagiarism and is illegal.

Yes, it is really bad. Even some called it a criminal.
