Utter horse manure.  Anyone can profit from something so long as it
is thier own idea.

Giving away an illegal copy of software it not helping one's neighbor,
it is making that neighbor an accessory to copyright infringement,
a federal offense punishable not in excess of 10 years of $10K.
Such a nieghbor should ask: "with friends like that, who needs
enemies?"

Helping each other cheat on a test is not helping, it is hurting.
There
is no difference ethically between plagiarism, cheating, or
unauthorized
copying.
