Unsurprising, yet sad.
Some even go to the trouble of changing a couple of words, presumably trying to cover their tracks or justify some kind of claim of "authorship":
"This week, we continue our ... stare upon pre-standard iron and steel manufacturing"
No normal English speaker would write that. Sure enough, the original had "look at", and the thief has just substituted "stare upon" without considering whether it actually reads well in the context.
If someone cared to DoS or otherwise take down that parasitical site, I'd consider it a service to humanity....
