So what? My daughter can download everything from research papers to book reports from the internet, too.
That does not mean it is not cheating and it does not mean that a person who takes advantage of this to short cut the learning process is not a cheater and a person of low ethical standards and a person who places very little value on their own integrity and honor.
The same can be said for the people who facilitate this cheating by posting the research papers and publicizing their locations (sometimes for a fee, which is even worse).
The tendency of this society to follow itself down into the gutter in nearly every part of life under the mantra of "everybody is doing it" or "you're no better than I am" or "if I hadn't done it somebody would have" or "who are you to judge" or ... is shameful.
We even have former presidents who made their career with such disreputable self-delusional nonsense.
Because posters come here to cheat and then react with righteous indignation when they are correctly seen for what they are does not change what they are - cheaters.
Because others do it does not make it right.
Because it is easy due to the internet does not make it right.
None of these reasons are in any way a reason to not protest when such unethical and dishonorable behavior is observed.
