Show of hands. Who DOESN'T copy snippets of code from the net occasionally? Anybody? Cobol programmer in the back, your hand has been noted, you can put it down now...

Um... most people? Unless you're counting explicitly open source software with a compatible license.
Every programmer on some level "copies" snippets of code be it from Stackover flow, Google community, and reddit.
Do answers on StackOverflow count?
I would count that, yes. Any time you think "I need to do X" but don't know the syntax, do you hopelessly read through help docs or do you Google it and keep going?
