Quick answer:

If you make it clear that you are not the author of the papers and indicate
who the real authors are then you are not guilty of plagarism.

What the copywrite issues are is a much longer answer.  I'm not sure that a
definative answer exists but if there is a copywrite notice attached it
should not be removed, that's for sure.

It depends on what your definition of "is" is.

BTW a question to all the ethics guru's...

A lot of people have put out lots of papers, articles on their website,
which can be downloaded for personal use. Would there be a ethics violation
if I were to make a HTML page on my file system and access these articles
through that (sort of a pseudo INTRAnet). This would make it easy for me to
click on the link and access the information rather than search through the
directories? Is this ethics violation? Remember that the whole article is
"as is" i.e. all copyright info etc is still intact. Let me repeat it is
INTRANET, not available to anyone unless you have privs to the directory.

Please enlighten me.

Once you lose your ethics, the rest is easy.  :(
