Inspiration vs Imitation

Copyright is an important issue in today's art world. What do you know about Copyright?


Copyrighta legal means of protecting an author's work. It provides exclusive publication, distribution, and usage rights for the author. This means whatever content the author created cannot be used or published by anyone else without the consent of the author.

It is easy to copy something and claim it as your own, but is that right? This brings up this issue of inspiration vs imitation. What do you think is the difference between the two?

Inspiration: the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative 

Imitation: a thing intended to simulate or copy something else 

Have you ever found yourself making art and just copying someone else's artwork?
