I would like to an an addendum to my post above, in view of the important point Sabii mentioned.
True, I too do not mind when people are inspired obtusely or even if they copy work precisely. However it is NOT about the 'creator's' like or dislike. It is about guiding towards light. For when we turn the sight away from black and white, blurring lines, then to quote turnstall 'colours bleed into one that doesn't have a name!'
Do not misunderstand me I am not asking for an authoritarian cage but rather I am asking that people be their own Judge, Jury and Executioner.
Plagiarism is NOT inspiration, just as coincidence is NOT copying. I have been inspired to create work, which before my pen reaches paper I see formed into beauty by another. Uncannily copied from my mind, to which I conclude maybe my inspiration was not as bright as I deemed it so, (not to insult the other creator either!) This has happened so many times that I realize that sometimes same does NOT mean copied!
Therefore the judge MUST be our own selves, for ONLY we know what we 'copied' and what is inspiration's heir.
It falls upon and unfortunately for some falters upon 'intentions.' If a person falls in love, becomes enamoured by beauty and wishes to cherish its substance, seeking to love it by understanding its form, then when they 'copy' the art, they will undoubtedly grant credit, for their intention is love and light. If a person wants glory alone, then their actions will grant only humiliation, not humility.
Forgive me if I spoke above my rank. Please feel free to disagree, I may thereby learn something of my own hue.
