- to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one’s own
- to use (another’s production) without crediting the source

“Am I free to copy facts and ideas?
Yes. You are free to report the facts and ideas embodied in another person’s article or web page. Copyright only protects the expression — the combination of words and structure that expresses the factual information — not the facts themselves.”
It means that all the facts are open to you but you cannot just take their presentation or their work that that they have done.
