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 don't get it, so all I'm gonna say is that it's a good thing to be when you're starting out, but you better switch it up to martyrdom when you're ready.

lol i always find it amusing when people rant about copycats like comedians for example. you would have to give me an example of someone copying you? Personally there is a huge difference from borrowing traits and copying someone/something as a whole. I mean what "moves" do you own... Does living make you a "copycat" lol? You are using a kongfu panda avatar, are thou a copycat? Also you should feel flattered when someone admired parts of you or respected you enough to emulate, sadly most people do not feel that way and get defensive believing they are the most unique individual alive. They want praise, recognition etc. but are offended when people naturally mimic some of their traits to try to achieve some result.

Epic fail, on your behalf... as not only was that 3 but you are quoting rather than copying.

SHUT THE **** UP. Seriously Noone is laughing I do not care if Ironic it is, it pissed me off. God I just threw my keyboard at my cat... You are lucky it missed because if Whiskers was hurt you would be in deep ****. DO NOT POST ****ing "cool story bro" and copy someone then go oh its a mame... **** YOU read a literature or investigate art and make your own posts. I get so mad at people like you.

I ****ing hate cover bands and remakes for that very reason. Making profit on other people makes my blood boil. I think copying in general is wrong though, Make your Own **** and think your own ****. We are all unique so copying is the ultimate sin imo. I just get furious thinking about it.

originality is a sham. copies are legit.

seriously, being the first person to do something, doesn't make that person special. They were just in the right place at the right time, any number of other people could have come up with similar ideas if the appriopriate conditions presented themselves to any number of people.

I ****ing hope that was a joke. SOMEONE TELL ME THAT WAS A JOKE! When you make something you are exerting the unique from the beyond to the present. Does Beethoven not deserve praise, Isaac Newton, Einstein? **** that... When I write a poem if someone stole it, **** would be obliterated... I would spend my life haunting that person because the important thing about art is getting credit or what is the point.
