Actually, I just looked up what he's talking about and it's that people can be rewarded for posting other people's content as though it were their own, or just reposting it without permission.
I know people do this, but it doesn't strike me as a huge deal. SN could probably make a flag or something for content like that.
Doesn’t it give you a warning when you post duplicates and similars? I don’t post if i see someone else posting the same thing. I have over posted when there are only a few minutes between their and my posts. But other than that, I don’t see it happening very much.

The concern is more about grabbing stuff from other sites, but I do recall someone copying the content of another post and posting it as their own.

Oh, plagiarism! Disgusting habit, isn’t it. You just cannot zap those accounts.
