An interesting topic came up between a few friends today about people who follow web tutorials and then claim that the product of those tutorials as their own. This made me wonder about the general attitude out there, so of course — as a curious git and a tutorial writer — the logical option was to blog about it.

When you follow a tutorial, do you consider the end result your own, or do you consider it something that effectively belongs to the author of the tutorial?
