It can be, yes.

If you credit the original author, such a notice might be sufficient in SOME cases. If the quoted source is current and still commercially valuable, then no. The reason for copyright is to protect income primarily. So if you think it will not harm the author financially, you can risk it but is still technically illegal.

If you post a copy of a movie or CD on a public forum, you are breaking the law. This also applies to text from a book or magazine or any intellectual property. In all these cases you have to notifiy the the author or the agent and arrange for permission to do so.
