I have plenty of nasty things to say about academia. But after about 15 years in artificial intelligence, more than 80 publications, and having worked with and interacted with 15 or so research groups, I have never seen this practice. It is possible that I have been lucky (sample size of one, too), but it is also possible that this horrible unethical behaviour is less common than in "almost every research group or collaboration". If someone have numbers with solid empirical backing, I would be happy to see them.
