I think as long as there is a link back to the source, that's considered a good reference and therefore is not a copyright infringement. It's when you try to pass it off as your own that you are 'stealing'. That may not be the legal standard, but it is my own moral standard.

By placing the link to the copied material, you are generating traffic back to the source, which is usually the whole purpose of why the source posted it on the internet in the first place.
