Courts have looked unfavorably on copiers that have, for one reason or
another not attributed their sources. Fair use is an equitable
doctrine. The more the defense can be made to look like a thief, the
more the balance tilts in the other direction.

This isn't by any means a *legal* reply, but speaking as an author and
having wide acquaintance among other writers, I can tell you that lack
