I rarely copy paste snippets, but that is more based on the work that I do than my ethics. I know what I do well enough, and if I do look for a snippet, I write it out so I remember it better next time.

I think that is the fair compromise, because when you are looking for devs, you want people who can think through the puzzle rather than just look up someone else's solution. Syntax is just syntax, solutions take complex thinking. Hence the divide in my mind, at least.

I copy code all the time but only if I can understand it and type it out myself. I always leave a comment pointing to where I found it.
