As much as I agree with everything you said, I also agree with jbduke. His complaint is not so much about his brothers job situation as it is about how postings here (that are complete pastes of articles published elsewhere) are actually stealing the work of others...some of which who are losing their jobs or getting pay cuts. By pasting the entire article, it takes from the author's chance to earn payment for his work. Not much different than someone showing up on your jobsite and taking some of the materials.
