What are peoples thoughts on "stealing" In the gallery?

This is the reason I don't release my mods into the wild any more. It took one person using my readme to try and one-up my mod rather than doing his own QA and basically stealing hundreds of hours of work which made me decide it's just not worth it.

However, I will admit to using the exchange as cloud storage. Since my original stuff is all pretty not-great, I don't think many people look at my page.
