Ethics has nothing to do with life anymore. People are becoming hard up in this society and when you are in need you will do what you otherwise wouldn'.

Others are unethical because simply of greed. Doesn't matter who you hurt as long as you get ahead -- unfortunately they have learned this attitude by watching and being part of governments and corporations who will do anything to anyone for a buck -- espcially if there aren't many consequences to face and it is highly unlikely you will get caught.

Stealing - is just plain lack of pride. I can't understand how anyone could get caught putting their own name on someone else's work and not just die of embarrassment. This type of scum are going to burn themselves out as people get tired of copycat material. They deserve to burn out though - let the people who engage themselves in creating fresh material and ideas survive and the heck with them.

As far as hijacking a domain - if that isn't worth jail time, it should be.

Would you tell a competitor about mistakes? I went further than that once. I gave him a list of links on his site that were not working - we are now friends and have cooperation between us. I went the other way though - instead of fighting competitors, I built them a resource that everyone can join in and be noted. More than one way to skin a cat.
