I don't understand what it is with people like you who
think it's OK to take other people's work and
deal with it as if it were your own,

I'd say that the desire for a free lunch is basic instinct,
right behind self-preservation and sex.

The fact that there is no free lunch (but plenty of
plunderable lunches) is attributable to the second law
of thermodynamics. I find it interesting, that people
rarely link the laws of nature to human morality.

but I'm sure that if the shoe
was on the other foot and you had anything worth protecting, you and
your ilk would be the first to cry wolf.

Of course.
Consistency and ethics are inconveniences, obstacles
to the free lunch.
