The line you drew is utterly arbitrary and could just as easily include sleeping with staff and justify that as great salesmanship.
What about hacking a company server to put his resume on the top of the queue? Offering the data in exchange for a "position"? Blackmailing with it?
Because he just got into dozens of company offices using nothing but a tee shirt. He could easily have carried a flash drive alongside the resume in those donuts.
Each person who cheats draws the line just beyond their own behavior. To prevent chaos the hard line lies were the authorities enforce it. And such blunt instruments damage the systems they protect almost as negatively as the violators they catch.
But the argument about cheating has been going on since the Olduvai Gorge and this conversation is going to have exactly the same effect as every other one.
The only difference at this time is that cheating has been bizarrely fetishized into being a good thing. And the biggest picture is merely chasing the latest web fad so zealously that a community has been transformed into one so obsessed with wealth that its member happily step over homeless on the way to lunch everyday. And so much as commenting on this situation is consider politically extreme even transgressive.
