Right to copy or Academic hypocrisy

I have checked Google for the sources of a number of so called academic books published by some Delhi -based publishers. Surprisingly all of them are copied and pasted directly from various internet sources. I wonder they do not have the common sense to re-write the sentences.(That is to avoid to be called a thief). The copyright of one of such books on Swine flu is held by an open University in northeast India.Very funny!Do they believe that 'copyright' means 'the right to copy'?

I will not be surprised even in the least if that is the way they think!
