We've had this forum in some form or another for about a decade - so yes, it's happened. Major publications, websites, etc. aren't impressed when their work is cut and pasted somewhere else, and rightly so. They write content to gain readers to their site who come and read the articles. If it's cut and pasted elsewhere, obviously people don't come - and with the current state of newspapers, advertising, etc. you're going to see it enforced even moreso. Wait until you start seeing publications move toward a "pay to read" platform and that content gets stolen - I guarantee you'll begin reading about sites, blogs, etc. getting nailed for doing it. We're about a year away from that (I believe the NY Times said 2011) but you can bet you're going to see everyone move in that direction.
Needless to say be aware of the fact that everyone needs to be careful when quoting content, and as I said be sure to provide the necessary link & credit.
