Mods were discussing it earlier. As I recall they lifted some of our stickied information word for word. As in: Copy+paste. Pretty low.

Not to defend anyone here, but it isn't copyrighted information, and it is on the internet which is public domain. Technically that is public information.

Is it right? NO
Is it legal? YES

Pending wether or not this site has been copyrighted or if they owners own specific things then yes it is illegal. I do agree that the internet is public however is that information is owned or researched by someone aka copyrighted, then no it is not legal in anyway to copy word for word without giving acknowledgement to the orginal maker which is a complicated way of saying plaugerisim.

There for it would be illegal for anyone to take a part of the sight word for word or design without permission of site owners and or acknowledgement to this site or owners for the creation.
