Unless you're a criminal, the creative fields are the only fields where stealing is allowed, promoted, and possible because of the internet. Click, Cut and Paste make it simple to steal. Criminals can steal identities and create false orders but most of us aren't criminals. We simply steal the creations of other folks--news articles, photographs, songs, poems, etc. Google built a business on stealing though they finally had to curtail it somewhat. I'm as guilty in some ways as others. I want things for nothing. This newsgroup costs me nothing. When it's down I get upset as if I'm entitled to it.
