I hate to say this but there have been many, many lazy people who simply copy and paste content from one person`s site to another, without even giving the original owners credit. What you lazy idiots don`t realize is that the original writers of content can easily track their content throughout the entire internet for their hard work and will prosecute when needed. This is just a warning to those out there who are doing this. Plagiarism cannot be tolerated and it is unfair to those who spend the time to do it. I`m sorry for the rant friends of autopia but this is a problem that is getting worse. If you like the content of somebody else`s site, do the following:
1. give them credit for the content (ex: xfire from xyz company has a great article on ...)
2. ask the original owner if you can use their content
Consequences include:
1. reduced credibility in the community
2. lack of professionalism
3. ban from showing in search engines
4. legalities from plagiarism
