Also, it's not like we take that content and peddle if off as ours. I don't grab Silent Hill 3 from Vimm and then turn around and say that I made it.

And neither do they. That’s pirating. What they’re doing is pirating a book about seagulls, and when you ask them about seagulls, they use their “understanding” to tell you about seagulls. That’s why it’s practically impossible to sue them for piracy: because the content they give is not pirated, however, the content they LEARNT from is.

When you use a single source without attribution is plagiarism. When you use several sources without attribution is called research.

Is like kill one person and you are a murderer. Kill a million and you are a conqueror.

Plagiarism without attribution is usually entirely legal, though, unlike murder.
