It depends what kind of material and how much. There are laws protecting the fair use of copyrighted material, but lifting an entire website wholesale is plagiarism and copyright infringement.
Well, it depends on how you are using it. No, it is not ethical/legal to take words or ideas from one site and paste them onto another site without giving the original writer credit or getting permission to do so. It's part of the whole copyright dilemma, and people who publish online have an automatic copyright, if publishing on their own site under their own name, and if they publish on someone else's site, often that site owns the copyright to that work (depends on terms of use). Is it legal to copy and paste your own words, or edit your own work, or use the copy and paste feature to edit the words of others as part of your job or with the permission of the author? Sure.
Copywriting itself is not illegal. Copywriting refers to writing promotional or advertising content. However, plagiarizing someone else's copy, using misleading information, or making false claims in copy could be illegal due to copyright infringement, false advertising, or deceptive marketing practices. It is important to follow ethical and legal guidelines when creating copy.

Plagiarism is illegal because you are copying another person's words and using them as if they were your own. Therefore, you can copy and paste a quote or words to a document, and so forth, as long as you put quotation marks at the beginning and end of the quote or piece of writing, or you can put the source you got it from, and sometimes, if you want to, you can put who wrote the piece of writing you have supplied.
It is illegal when you copy and paste without the owner's permission. It is illegal because you are taking it and saying it is yours.
Although this is not addressed in the law, it would be unusual for the rightsholder to take action, as it doesn't interrupt their revenue stream.
