That's a pretty tasteless thing to say. They're people against plagiarism and that's a worthwhile pursuit if it's exposing commerical phonies that make money off of stealing other people's work.
As an artist and writer, I'm as much against plagiarism as anyone, but the sheer extent to which these guys devote their time and energy to this is kind of what the term no-life was created for. This isn't their job, it's their version of social justice warrioring.
It's like the people scouring YouTube exclusively to report videos like game trailers, anime scenes, music videos, et cetera, earning themselves the sarcastic nickname 'YouTube Heroes.' In the same vein, members of 2ch have earned themselves the sarcastic nickname '2ch detectives.'
