Well stealing someone’s work is awful, but if your work inspires one to be better in their approach then you the creator should be honored.

Touchy topic for me love. Burn plagiarist and reward the rightful owner of the piece.

Give credit where it’s due is an old saying–probably for a reason.

Though having someone steal your work could be considered a compliment, it is still wrong.

There is a very thin line separating what is original from what isn’t.

Love your work….

Very touching straight to the heart.

Plagiarism is stealing. That’s what the word means. Inspiration is something totally different. In a funny way both are a compliment to the originator.

They have different meanings, but eat from the same plate.
