Talk:Art Theft (copying)/@comment-25277994-20131211212531

So like many things do, this little thing has been bothering me. Heres it what it is; when people copy a picture and say "inspired by ___" and its all fine. Wellllllll no. It's all fine if they said "copied by", but idk if DC would approve that....

Why is this wrong? Let us now look up the definition of inspire.....

in·spireinˈspīr/ verb #1.fill (someone) with the urge or ability to do or feel something, esp. to do something creative. Okay. Sooo it doesn't mean copying, guys. Honestly, i see lots of people copying and putting 'inspired by' to make it all fine. The right time to say "inspired by" is if some DC artist inspired you to draw in a similar way, but not when you like an artist's style or drawing and decide to draw it yourself. So pretty much, all o' us are getting fooled by thinking everything's okay when you put "inspired by (nameofartisthere)".
