It is one thing to state what another source said and post a link to it. and state that it is a copy from the other source. You can do this by simply placing the copy in "xxx" AND than add your own words to talk about it or add more information. This is acceptable. HOWEVER a straight copy and paste is not ok.
As long as the source is included, he is considered ethical, and people choose to upvote him despite knowing the article is not original is not his decision afterall.
Stealing an entire article is not allowed even if you cite the source. Itās like stealing from Walmart and selling the goods with a sign saying āstolen from Walmartā. It does not make it ethical. I havenāt downvoted this blog, as others have already done it.
I donāt hesitate to downvote plagiarism when I find it, even if the source of the theft is mentioned.
It is OK to write a blog talking about what someone else wrote. You can include properly sourced quotes from that blog, maybe a few words, a sentence, or even an entire paragraph, to illustrate your point. It is definitely NOT OK to copy the entire blog, with or without mentioning the source.
That's wrong. The source should have been at least at the top. And I'm pretty sure that @dan didn't read the article - the headline says enough and additionally the formatting is bad.

@safvan not if you copy the whole thing and get paid for it hundreds of dollars.

Agree with you

He's developer he knows what he's doing and this is his job better not to try teach him that what he should do.
It is not ethical nor is it fair use
