Is copy and paste legal?

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.
