Do you think it is ethical to use "spinning software" to re-write an existing article, then post it?
No, definitely not... we would all like to make money from writing but you shouldn't plagiarise someone else's work --- it's theft!
Is the existing article yours? I have done this to my own work. I do not agree that it is right to use someone else's work.
Absolutely not. It's dishonest writing, plain and simple.
NO. It's theft. We writers work hard for our words and I don't care who is "spinning" what, it's not okay.
Most definitely not!!! This is unethical and as others have already said, it is a theft of intellectual property!
Well if you're using it to re-write your own article, I see no problem with it. If you're using it to spin someone else's work, then I'd think there are some ethical issues.
I have spun some of my own work, especially when I owned a huge website that included a blog page. Good answer - Thanks!
Both unethical and pointless. Badly spun articles have zero benefit nowadays.

I have an article that is 4 months old and generating a fairly decent amount of views every day. It contains 1,350 words. I now find that I could write a sequel to that article that would most likely prove as interesting to readers as the original. I could write the new article to a length of about...
