@cryptoboiiii I want you to know that it is not OK to use another person’s hard work like this, even if you acknowledge the original author.

You could have instead included a link to the original article and made a few though provoking comments of your own.

Stealing an entire article is not allowed even if you cite the source. It’s like stealing from Walmart and selling the goods with a sign saying “stolen from Walmart”. It does not make it ethical.

It is OK to write a blog talking about what someone else wrote. You can include properly sourced quotes from that blog, maybe a few words, a sentence, or even an entire paragraph, to illustrate your point. It is definitely NOT OK to copy the entire blog, irrespective of whether you are mentioning the source.

@therealwolf is 100% right on this.
