Till about then it was not a big problem since human settlements were small and people know each other well enough that it was impossible to pretend you are great philosopher using only works of others. As settlement grew problem become more and more acute but it become serious problem only after invention of printing press since that's when reader finally lost any hope of ever seeing the author end and when price of books went down so drastically that you needed to sell thousands of them to make a decent living.
