Talk:Art Theft (copying)/@comment-204.128.192.34-20130430150038

l'd like to put a question to everyone:

Is copying something like Sonic or Twilight Sparkle okay? Why? Are artists like Naoto Ōshima or Lauren Faust somehow going to be less hurt by you copying thier character styles? If they are not hurt, why? Why are you hurt? What are you losing?

What is copying, and what is fan art? If you fail to put "Inspired by Lauren Faust's MLPs" on a original MLP character, are you copying?

I just think it is important to think about these things. What do you guys think? You don't have to reply or anything, but I hope you thinkabout these questions to yourself, at least and try to be completely honest. Maybe talk it out with your parents?
