At some point, most (all?) of us have "borrowed" code from the interwebs to use in our own code and that seems fine. But is copy-pasting blocks of code from another blog and publishing it in one's own blog considered as plagerism? I see this fairly often. Thoughts?

OK, so there's two different things going on here. 1. Copy-pasting SNIPPETS is usually fine because 2 lines of code or like how write a Python list comprehension for the thing at hand is not really "intellectual property". That's what snippet means usually.

Replying to @o_guest @pattithepotato and
2. STEALING chunks of somebody's code, i.e., passing off lines and lines of code written by another person/team as something you wrote is intellectual theft. So yes, that is 100% plagiarism. If they attribute it correctly according to the license of the code, then it's not theft.

I'm wondering where to draw the line between situation 1 and 2. At 5 lines of code? 10 lines?

Literally 1 or 2. But also on a case by case basis, it really depends. Can you DM me the example(s)?

I'll have to trace back my steps and see if I can find them. It might take some digging.

To avoid us all repeating stuff, see this side-thread. Basically they may repeat a lot of stuff but if it's boiler plate unoriginal stuff that "everybody does" it's probably un-copyrightable.https://twitter.com/o_guest/status/991739104021876736 …

For this specific case you gave though, I do not believe lifting that is OK. It has an MIT license attached for a reason.
