its a combination of 2 and 3
u take that hack to another site and upload it and call it yours
Leeching is using something that is not your own creation, without returning anything back that they desire.
A far worse version of leeching is doing the same as the previous, but also claiming that it is your own creation.
1-3 can be meanings to leeching actually they arent completely wrong but not completely right... if u put them 3 together you will get your complete answer
edit:
lol very old i dont think it was post bump but vote bump some1 bumped it and then the guy posted
Leching means #2 to download a hack from other site and to don't give credits
I don't really care about the download as much as the source. A lot of people leech source which really ticks me off, because its kind of like Taking a copy of a book, like Moby Dick and putting your name as the author. Other authors usually document their sources I don't see why it is so different in coding...
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This is, I repeat, the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."- Dwight D. Eisenhower
Leeching is simply downloading something without reseeding it.
It's a term for torrents.
You're all dumb asses.
