Verb. To take private property without permission, (esp. written and intellectual), remove any inherent value under the delusion that they are making it "better," and pass it off as one's own for personal gain without bothering to obscure the real source.

When caught cooks sourcing, a person then becomes unreasonably arrogant, demands compensation for orchestrating the screw-over, and claims professional expertise on applicable cyber laws while demonstrating that they actually have less expertise than a teenage boy who just discovered there are things other than porn on the internet.
