It doesn't surprise me how uncomfortable people are with the idea that such a concept can exist. There's a lot going on with the unconscious processes of the brain, and I don't really think that people want to conceder an uncontrollable "off switch". There are various habits of animals which make instinctual acts, and example would be fish, who would eat their own young in order to protect them, and such a thing is difficult thing to understand and rationalize logically.
One day, I was listening to a girl who was with friends the previous night and accepted some psychedelic drug from a friend without even knowing which one it was (I told her that was stupid, and she agreed). While experiencing the effects of it she felt like she could fly, and considering that she lived in an apartment, as a precaution she died a string around her ankle and the other end to the leg of her bed. She woke up on her floor, laying flat facing the balcony door. There are things that go on in our heads that we aren't readily aware of.

6% of the world's births are aflicted with sevre birth defects, and 50% of the known defects have no information available to why they happen. I honestly wouldn't know what to do if I was in a situation as a parent, looking at how difficult a life my child would have.
I think I've actually found a parallel between cheating on tests and software piracy.
1) Why go out and get them a game when you can have a friend give you a copy of his own.
2) No investment needed for equal gain.
3) You can accuse and convict as many people as you want, but until the distributers stop getting sloppy the issue isn't going to go away.
4) A lot of people are cheap/lazy, and other people know there is profit in that.
I know that some software exists which has the option of a free download where you can pay what you want, but I'm curious if such educational courses exist as well with that model. I've always been confused with all these court cases where layers are trying to convince every one of lost sales, when all those people that do pirate are the type who wouldn't actually have bought the software in the first place, just like people who take courses just to cheat on tests anyways. Unfortunately to weed these people out, you put everybody in stressful under the microscope situations, which can have an overall negative effect on everyone else studying and doing the exams properly. I'm probably just rambling and don't know if I'm going anywhere with this, but what the hell.

@Humos
You mean like the Statue of Liberty?
Please direct your anger to the correct source.

Then don't be the first the drop the soap, that's what!
