However, copying and reposting someone else's work, even if attribution is given, can still infringe copyright, because copyright protection gives an author the right to determine where and how his work is used. If you wish to avoid both copyright infringement and plagiarism, it is best to give a précis, link, and attribution (i.e. what EdZ requested in the original post).
