Frederick,
Even that great temple of learning, Wikipedia has a guide on how to
write a good article. Part of that guide is the following link on the
importance of citing sources.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cite_sources
Why do you seem to be defending plagiarism in your fight against
intellectual copyright.
Citing references or sources in no way hinders the sharing of knowledge
but instead vastly improves the 'quality' of information in circulation
and rightly gives credit where it is due. Whether the original authors
were or were not seeking fame or gratification for themselves is
entirely irrelevant to the debate.
