I was just thinking, "What if someone's being well-intentioned, asking the OP's question on a diff't site for them?" But copy law doesn't care so much about intentions, does it? | |

And simply telling somebody you're about to plagiarize them doesn't override their copyright; he'd have to get permission from the site owners, who likely own the copyright on any user-contributed content. | |
