If you copy someone's HTML
verbatim, I am pretty sure it IS a copyright violation. If you base your work off of theirs, that is indistinguishable from reverse-engineering it, and you are untouchable.
In any event, I believe the uploader in question may well have written an introduction.
I lost track of the thread.
But I do know that the uploader in question was quite upset "that his copyrighted work was ripped off".
