The bad news is that as this sort of thing gets perceived to be widespread
and rampant, the value of a good grade goes down. You can say you
graduated from Glasgow in CS with a 4.0 average and folks outside the
school will think "Yeah, but so what? Most of the fresh-outs from there
got their homework from the Internet, so its easy to get a 4.0" Hence the
innocent are dragged down with the guilty.
