Multiple duplicated codes

How is it possible I find so many duplicate codes on the playground? Today, I saw a code that has been published by someone else 3 months ago, and it has 200+ upvotes for code he hasn't written himself. Or codes that I find in here under different writers I already found on the web years ago! I think sololearn needs some kind of copyright option, so the original author still gets some credit.. opinions?

i agree. we can learn and modify the code but we have to give credit to original author.

If u need a code to modify or test just do it in privet. I think Sololearn set this save option for make a better use of it or upgrade it (After updrageding it you might publish it thanking the source pulisher). but Somehow people started to save code and published it by there name. Y u hav to steal it? Write ur own code and get respect.
