Like what? You can see who else is leeching/seeding torrents, you can search BakaBT directly, you don't have to wait a day or two before being able to download anything new?

No one "had to" earn anything, really.

--- End quote ---

It's cheating in the sense that what you have is not what you did. If you copy your neighbor's answers during a test, it's cheating, regardless of whether or not the test is actually worth any part of your grade and whether or not you're even allowed to do that.


--- Quote from: Bozobub on November 07, 2013, 07:09:52 PM ---Hence, it's not "cheating", which is by definition a violation of the rules.

--- End quote ---

Here are the few definitions of cheating, as provided by Dictionary.Reference.com:

verb (used without object)
4. to practice fraud or deceit: She cheats without regrets.
5. to violate rules or regulations: He cheats at cards.
6. to take an examination or test in a dishonest way, as by improper access to answers.

Given the context here, the term "cheating" clearly refers to number 4 and not number 5 or 6. It is entirely possible to "practice fraud or deceit" without "violating rules or regulations" or "taking an examination or test in a dishonest way."
