Is Plagiarism Now Allowed on Steemit?

Image not subject to copyright, according to Google image search.

I just stumbled on this post and asked the original poster (in the comments of his post), why he reposted other people's copyrighted work, without their permission, and for personal profit, and what value does plagiarism bring to Steemit.

He replied that as long as he linked to the original article, it's OK (although the article I linked to is not in his list).

So my question is this: Is it OK to (pretty much) copy paste content from other websites, post links to them, and claim its not plagiarism, while taking profit from other people's work?
