Well i don't think copy paste is too bad, when you use them as help for your content and credit the OP.
But copy and pastint a complete content just for the votest, thats the wrong thing

Sort:  

Yes in some cases.. quoting parts of someone else's work is fine. But it should include a citation at least.

yeah that's the credit part of my comment ^^

This is the key ... "quoting parts"

If you copy the whole thing (even with attribution) you are effectively stealing from the creator of the content.
