What you are asking about would be copyright infringement. The injured party (copyright holder) would have to initiate any action. The U.S. government does not do this unilaterally, unless they are the injured party, of course.

As far as if anything may be copyright infringement depends on what, specifically, is copied and what is done with it.

therefore it means that it is not legal to do such thing...
all this while i thought that if there is a link provided back to the original site then it is ok... but it seem like it isnt ... and it depends on the other party as to whether to brought up the case to the court right

From what I understand about copyright law, if the copyright holder can't prove that your posting their material did them "harm" (as in, cost them money or reducing the value of their property), then they don't have much of a case against you. But, if someone sent you a letter/email asking you to remove their copyrighted material from your site, you should do it.

can the harmed party straight away issue a sue letter toward the copy paste party without any warning letter...
