I'm sure it sucks to lose money.  However, people dumb enough to invest their time, money, and resources into these insecure copy/paste coins have it coming to them.

I've made money on some of the copy-coins, particularly Feathercoin when I dumped my instamine on BTC-e the minute it was listed.  I don't hold copy/paste coins for more than 24 hours after mining them but only mine LTC these days anyhow.
