---- Is rewriting articles from other sites "stealing content"?

I would say it would depend on the % variation form the original content. If you re-write the article from a website and the % variation is more than say 40%, then I think its not a violation.

No idea where you get such a figure from. Plagiarism also relates to the presentation and structure of content, it's themes, points of argument, line of reasoning, avenue of discussion and more. An article that is completely reworded can still be had up on a charge of plagiarism.
