This, exactly.
I guess I am not sure why writers keep trying to make it like 'professional writing' is different or special compared to anything else. People steal candy bars from the local grocery store, and it hurts the little corner store guy more than it hurts the major grocery chain. It's wrong, and most people don't do it, but it happens. Such is life. The only way to have total control as a creator is to stick it in a drawer like Emily Dickinson did...
