Does anyone have any thoughts on the practice of displaying a web page
where part of the content is taken from a page on another unrelated web
site.

Today I discovered a web page that consisted of two frames. The upper
frame contained a banner ad and information about that particular web
site. The lower frame contained a copy of one of my own pages from my
web site.

----------------------------
| Banner ad / site info |
----------------------------
| |
| My page |
| |
----------------------------

To the casual observer it would appear that my page was in some way
related to the banner ad /info above. Is this a case of copyright
infringement or plagiarism?

Mike
