A couple years ago as I was finishing my CS degree, I often wondered about this. I knew lots of my classmates were cheating with stuff like this, or even just buying whole zipped archives of past student's work to pass off as their own.

Cheating of this nature is really is getting quite rampant, and you can definitely notice it when you get to higher level CS classes and have to do projects with other students who have basically just cheated, coasted, and freeloaded of off other students for years. I had to do a capstone Software Engineering class project with a student who could barely write anything past a HelloWorld program in Java.

I wrote a very candid evaluation of that student and personally spoke to the professor but nothing came of it. I'm sure he still passed the class, and perhaps even cheated his way to graduation.
