To me the only people who would take issue with this are the people who are expoiting others work and are just mad. It has been my experience thata those first to scream "foul" and "witchhunt" are the people you going to have to look out for. Stealing and exploiting someone elses work for money or celebrity or kudos is more despicable and loathesome than any of these false romantic notions of group effort and creativity. "Community" and "collaboration" have nothing to do with sneaking, concealment, lying, and exploitation. What is truelly sad is people not supporting the efforts of those in the community. It is sad that people try to demoralize those who struggle to protect them selves from those who steal. It is a shame, when people's desires to do "what they want to do" are stronger that the difference between "Right and Wrong"
