It was more than just taking raw clips identical to the source footage that was the issue; it was taking the work other fans had done to their clips and presenting it as your own. So yes, effectively "plagiarizing" segments of other vidders' work.
To put it in podfic terms, it would be like a podficcer deciding that they want to have two voices in their podfic of a story. Then instead of figuring out how to do another voice themselves or finding a collaborator, they went out and found an existing podfic of the same story that had the right sound, and then without asking they chopped it up to provide the second voice, presenting the combined version as though they'd done both voices themselves.
