My Esppit Tee-Shirt, ur Luis Vetton Handbag
This entry is solely based on the frustrations of the writer. It bears every relations to some other works by other authors, copycats and imitations. If u feel offended by it, I strongly suggest u reflect on what u have been doing; and check the dates of my earlier entries. I make no apologies for whatever I have to say. Fore-warning: This entry is not meant for the weak-hearted, the pregnant, & the petty. I will bear no responsibility for any way ur health or pride had been punctured by reading on.
As highlighted to me, there seem to be people plagiarizing my blog entries & passing them off as theirs.
The world would have been a better place if we knew how to honour each other's works & originality. The literary world would have been a more refined place if education met its purpose in the lives of people today.
What's up with 'Disclaimers' on blogs these days? What's the purpose of informing the world that it is ur own reflections & thoughts when u clearly had just copied & pasted someone else's life story?
Do we really need disclaimers to cover our asses so that we can plagiarize however freely we want, & inform the world that it is, 'well, I already said it was MY opinion, & if u still think I plagiarized, too bad?!
What are u exactly trying to prove?
No better style to write with? That u fella have to use daily metaphorical examples to prove ur point? Nope, not that this style and method solely belongs to me, but then again, why is there such stark similarities? To the extend that the entire entry becomes urs?
Oh well, one of the reasons why I enjoy walking through pasar malams is because they offer a wide variety of imitation clothes. Those which are so real u can barely tell them apart from the original; & those who's imitations are so poor, even the spelling of the brand is humorous.
Say when Adidas becomes Abibas.
MUAHAHA.
But why do people still want to make imitations? One conclusion, (& probably the only today) is that established brands, methods, creative ideas, and unique expressions sell. The key word is 'established' & 'ideas'. People like the novelty of reading & having things that are different and rare.
So obviously, if the inventor does not copyright her stuff, she gets copied. But my question to u is:
are u as good or better than the original creator?
Do u value-create for her, or do u simply dilute the originality with sub-standard creations of ur own?
What I really hate is how u do not use my work with care, with intention or with a sincere purpose; but just because its cool, its different & u think its makes u one up because u are now sophisticatedly expressing urself.
Get a life, please.
Copy for all u want, but I could only conclude with total agreement that imitation is probably the greatest compliment. May I thank u (all), how hard u have tried, for ur compliments.
For ur cheap thrill.
& oh yep, Thank u Clara, I really appreciate the info =)
