Yes, I have been in MANY newsgroups. When I was in college that's all I
did was surf when I was working in the lab. Furthermore, at some time or
another, if not on a consistant basis, copyright violations DO happen in
every group. I don't know where you've been hanging out but I only see
maybe 10-15% of authors credited with their work. I tend to read a lot and
I ALWAYS see people claiming another's work to be their own.
