The pirate bay might describe itself as a software sharing website, it’s kind of a moot point what they describe themselves as in that sense.

The students are still responsible for what they take in outside of the materials provided. Wikipedia is even at the best of times not always correct. I see lot of people waving the responsibility of students away.

The students took a chance, knowing fully well what the site is and does, and they got burned. Own it and take the burn.

I honestly didn’t know it was a cheating site. I use it with my grade school kids to help them, find novel exercises on the topics they’re working on, etc.

I can’t be the only one who uses it as the resource it presents itself to be.

Reading a copy of a previous test is not considered cheating.

If the site had copies of upcoming tests that would be cheating. But previous tests might as well be considered public knowledge.
