Yes. If someone produces a tutorial or guide, then the copyright for that belongs to the author. Its just the same as a book. If I wrote a set of paragraphs on how to travel back in time, and you reproduced that writing without my permission, then you'd be guilty of copyright infringement. Not only is that illegal, but its fucking lame as well - I'd classify it as a rip off balls, shovel in face, hands in the furnace offence. To summarise, if you're caught copying other people's work without their permission (usually in writing and signed by them), then you're fucked bigtime - ESPECIALLY if you're charging people $$$ for that information.
