I wouldn't feel like I had achieved anything if I cheated, and so it would mean nothing.
I know that my constant good grades in English in my early teens as a direct result of Bowie style bus collaborations never brought me academic satisfaction. I tend to feel cheating involves an element of deception though, whereas, there was no deception involved there. My teacher consistently handed me back ridiculous poetry with an A in red pen, and two sheets of paper for writing my lines, for having done it on the bus.
They did give me a warped sensation of youthful raging against the machine though!
I remember back in 2005 having a TMA discounted because somebody had intelligently asked all the questions word for word on a science forum. That was an irritant to be sure.
I'm glad you don't cheat. What would be the point?!
I remember those pigeon holes from uni! Literally running on the deadline day before 4 o'clock to post it through. It never occurred to me to take anything out of them...anyway, how can you be sure that you're copying the correct answers?
Some questions from our TMA were posted word for word on Yahoo. I really wanted to post 'incorrect' answers but I realised there's no point wasting my time.
Cheaters only cheat themselves. It's a little like lying, I find it difficult to lie because in future I'll have to remember what I lied about and thats always tricky. I'd definitely slip up! It's just easier to be honest!

Our CMA42 didn't count, TMA04 is in question if it counts because somehow all questions and answers turned up on the Internet.
And this is Level1, where the grade doesn't even matter ^^

It's worse than that, a couple of years ago exactly the same thing happened.
