Do you copy from other person's post?

I've seen a lot of posts and blogs that are similar to each other. Some were re-phrased while others really copy the whole content. I copy my own postings and post it with other posting sites. I also post, all my post with other posting sites, to my blog. Do you copy other peoples work?..

I hate it when people copy my work or when I see that that is what others have done. It is because of that that I often find myself angry with bloggers and article writers. I don't copy other people's work or even my own very often. 99% of the time my blogs and articles are new and original. I think this gives my blogs and articles something that a lot of blogs and articles just don't have. Quality content.

No, that is simply absurd. And disrespect the hard effort of the original writers. It's like your hard-earned money get stolen by me. What makes you feel? But I do have exception. Like recreating post that needs certain codes such as css code/html/php. And post it on your sites but always give proper credit to them and let them know. Same as you AltheGreat, i did copy and paste my movie review on to sidereel and provide link to my own site. But that's a total exception since the content is originally wrote by myself. :)

I too have seen this with many posts. I have seen even posts that had been copied word by word. But I never do it. I put my own words. That is the fun of being here..It is in sharing the views and thoughts..I think people who copy the posts would be missing that fun..

Yeah, I think so too.. How would it be fun if what you post was just copied from others work?.. I believe everyone should have their own originality..

No, I do not believe in copying. I try to be start my own posts, without copying others. There is no fun in starting a similar copied version of a discussion. I agree that some of the people do it, either deliberately or otherwise, but I abstain from it.

It's to have your own originality.

No I don't copy posts. Exact copying is plagiarism but paraphrasing is legal so long as you quote who said the lines.
