Totally agree. I don't get this either.

If someone copies my software work, I don't go around calling them lazy. Even I spent all my weekends on this lovely piece of code, only for someone else to "steal" it.

What if that said someone copies your work you spent all your weekends working on and starts making a lot of money on it?

Then he/she clearly did something better than you. Had the insight that you lack.

So you think it's ok to sit around wait for someone else to do all the hard work and then just copy what they did?

you must be kidding, copying someone else's HARD work is not easy, especially if you have to reverse-engineer it.

And if you do, good for you.
