Most people cheated in one way or another when I was going to school.

Better issue: why are we blaming YouTube for videos of people cheating? Plus, there are things far worse than this available on the Internet...

I think a high school quarterback with a GPA of 2.0 getting into a prestigious med school on a scholarship is a far worse offense, and YET it happens all the time.

cheating for fun and profit is both easy and profitable, no wonder these kids do this.

as a student myslef, I think that if someone wants to cheat, will suffer the consequences. I don't cheat, I just study. If you study ever subject fro 5 minutes every night, it's not a lot, but come test time, you'll know the material. If you think about it, it takes for effort to cheat than it does to just actually study. And the winners never cheat, and the cheaters never win, or something like that.
