Plagiarism , unfortunately, become the rule rather than the exception. Nowadays,students , researchers ( if we called that) cheat and, in some instances, brag about it .Is this what academia has gotten to ? I prefer to think that Iam wrong but facts do confirm it .

A lot of speculation. It would be interesting to see some research that shows proof that this is how similarity software is used.
