I read 1 and looked back. it was cut and paste with just enough changed or left out to get by the term project by the professor. Is it lazy or stupid?

It sounds like it was a combination of both on the perpetrator's part. Lazy of him for copying a review. Stupid of him to use yours instead of one of many others. In any event, it may be difficult to prove that he was plagiarizing your review.

Review piracy happens all the time.

It's probably lazy so he can get the 15 VIP days. You could also consider it a bit of flattery, since he apparently liked your writing style enough to copy it......lol I have not read any reviews that I thought were ripoffs of any I wrote however.
