Legal and copyright reasons aside, when students copy and paste work for the web (or anyone else for that matter) there's no proof that they understand what they've read and copied. The same goes for web developers who just lift code from other websites.

That depends on what you mean by "change it". If you mean that you should just go through it and change a few words or move the sentence structure around, then that's still not really OK. If you read a few paragraphs, digest them and rewrite them in your own words, citing your references where necessary, then that would be OK...
