Is it illegal to copy synopsis of movies directly to your website?

    This might be a stupid question but I am still quite new to various legal issues and I am still learning.

    So if I decide to go on a website like blockbuster or wikipedia and I copy and paste only the content they use to describe the movies is that illegal? If so how illegal is it? Would I get a warning, a fine or jail time?

    What if I translate it to another language? Would it be illegal then?

    Any copy like that would indeed be frowned upon, translating it though should be fine as it is technically not the same.
