They claim to be 'inspired' but copy your moves down to a tee. I guess it's good to take it as a compliment but it's still a lame and insecure life to lead being a copycat.

I haven't known any copycats for at least 10 years. Except for the cloned cat.

It doesn't bother me.

I am who I am and they are who they are. Simple as that. If they want to copy, go ahead. More money for the companies and the celebrities that promote it(*Cough* Like, Lil Wayne's soldout ass)

I constantly dread the thought of someone using a picture I drew and claiming it as there own. It's flat out thievery.

Heh heh heh, myself as well. We are all unique snowflakes and I am enraged some corrupt few would try to taint that. People copy me and do things better than me that they copied... Eh, hard to get mad at them one uping myself but I find a way to be furious.

I'm okay with the film industry, so therefore, I'm fine with copycats.

I GET FURIOUS, learn to actually be original... We all have gifts and were given them... I am not an enormously creative person and I find that copycats infuriate me. I mean **** I CAN NOT STAND THEM! Atleast if you are not inventive like I got my avatar from the pennyarcade do not act like you invented it. TWILLIGHT DID NOT INVENT THE VAMPIRE DRACULA DID!

I prefer to be unique from others, rather than copy what people have done and claim it to be my work/style.

So yeah, I don't really like them.

Agreed examples include those ****s in Twillight stealing vampires from Dracula and claiming they own it. Or Star Wars copying Star Trek's space ships and not giving atleast some credit. Also there are a ton of Shakespear copy cats.

Heinrich August Ossenfelder was the first vampire writer...in 1748 :P Dracula was by far not the first. Nosferatu was the first cinematic depiction.

Okay, I admit I am wrong on that, Twillight still ****ing copied and acts like it is the best thing. Not only that but it ruined vampires.

Ever notice how your siblings 'll act like you in areas you want to be different, but be completely different from you in the areas you wouldn't mind being more alike.

Siblings are different though. I think most siblings at one point looked to their older brother or sister as a role model and take interest in what they see them dong. When it's a friend or one of your peers mimicking everything you do while acting like they have no interest in whatever your doing is quite lame imo.
