Some of us may not be very comfortable with being accessories to a crime
(or is it a felony?) - the people on this list are the ones who use the OS
you don't need to steal to get for free.
But then, I don't think I've seen before people who publically anounce
their intent to break the law - so at you least you provided me with some
amusement.

You mean they have more elaborate ways of cheating? Turning in essays
without the benefit of having learned anything? Or that they know your BS
spin for what it is?
How is using your "info source" any different than writing a book report
after reading the jacket, or Duvshani? What kind of quality do these "info
sources" have? I took a look at that site just now.
Under "subjects" you list miscelaneaous ("shonot") as the first subject.
If it's the first subject then what is it "shonot" from?
Using this as an info source is not even kissing through a handkerchief,
it's kissing through a bloody wall.
