There are two Reddit posts in r/AskAcademia and a more detailed and updated vroniplag page (this specific page contains solely segments from Andreas THeodorou’s thesis) about a case of academ…
It makes sense - he spent so much time learning how the system worked, enough to get around it, so now he makes a living continuing the exploit. Many politicians and CEOs do the same.
Oh absolutely. And this being in academia, they likely will lose their job over it - like that Harvard professor who was accused of a highly similar form of plagiarism (borrowing long stretches of text while failing to cite the original source material). I was pointing out the absurdity of not doing that for politicians and CEOs:-(.

that doesnt mean its immoral.
and as far as i can tell, its not even true. you can be sued for copyright infringement but plagiarism is not codified.
Do you know the difference?
yes
