RE: When people plagiarize your ideas - Ramblings on Life #15

in #writing6 years ago

I remember having a similar conversation about this with @eaglespirit a little while back.

Yes, I don't like it when I see an absolute rip-off of my work, but I do kinda see it as a compliment when someone's inspired by something I created. I get a feeling of pride combined with a feeling of wanting to punch that person :P

My idea or writing must've been good enough, at least for that person.

I remember seeing an artist who sold his work on the streets. He said the greatest compliment he ever had was having someone steal one of his pieces. They risked prosecution just to own it. Awesome!

Like @eonwarped says: it does sting a bit when you see them make money from it though :P

cheers

Hahahahahahaha!! If she won't do it I will ... we have each other's back like that. :p

Lolz no. I've never wanted to punch you. I don't own the copyright on contests :P

I've seen it more than once, someone swoop in a day before the contest is due and have mimicked a scene from my writing and win! WTF!!!???
