I agree. People who only plagiarize and never innovate or attempt to increase value or utility, who can only copy...let them suffer with that on their conscience. That condition is punishment enough.

But if you find something valuable on the web, copy it and spread it around. I could go on for hours with a sob story about tens thousands of combined hours of thesis, anti-thesis, and synthesis that represented real philosophical progress evaporating in the into the ether because there was no redundancy and we took its existence for granted.
