These advertisements generally provide the revenue that pay the author and fund the web site.

It is unthinkable that the moderators haven't addressed this breach of intellectual property unless the NRA which owns Shooting Illustrated explicitly allows this.

Here is what the U.S. Government says: “The distinction between what is fair use and what is infringement in a particular case will not always be clear or easily defined. There is no specific number of words, lines, or notes that may safely be taken without permission. Acknowledging the source of the copyrighted material does not substitute for obtaining permission.” About the Fair Use Index | U.S. Copyright Office. Taking virtually every single word is clearly infringement as it is not quotation of a short passage or passages for a scholarly work, or use of a short passage or passages for criticism of the work, or use in a parody, or summary of an article with brief quotations in a news report.

Finally, Copyright infringement is illegal and in some cases criminal. There exists a broad choice of civil actions that can be imposed, criminal cases have also occurred in certain instances.
Just wait til your father gets home.
