It's not plagiarism but it is copy/paste. Without adding anything original (your thoughts or comments)to it we consider it spam. It's something anyone can do hundreds or thousands of times a day and doesn't have any value.
Also we don't like to see the entire article copied. It doesn't give the reader any reason to visit the site and support the original writer.
Thank you for responding with simple and straight to the point English. Now, I will:
stop copying everything
start adding my view/opinion/comment
