Of course it was possible before.

You could put an Einstein paper on a photocopier, mask the author, put your name in the place and publish. Except everyone would have thought you are an idiot.

You could clone the Linux kernel, erase all copyrights and release under Idiux. Except everyone would have thought you are an idiot.

Now that there are laundering machines financed with unlimited printed and previously stolen money a large number of developers affirms and praises the idiots.
