Have copied something and passed it of as ur creation?

Amazing, that is called copywrite if you took another person web content and used it again on the internet as it was. But if you just glean, meaning you just took out some of the facts and used it in your own english then that is better as you would never get prosecuted for that. Taking information about an article then you just made research, so you are safe as we all do it.

Uhh... no. I don't think it's right. Even if I'm writing a quote in my journal (Which I typically never show to anyone), I try to write the name of the author and the work that it comes from. I don't think it's ever right to steal someone else's words and claim them as your own. It's lying to yourself, and it's not fair the the true author of those words.
