I found it very interesting how this article discuses the different types of copying. In one of the paragraphs it discussed how filmmakers are always using the technics of other filmmakers but it isnt considered cheating its considered creativity. i liked how it talked about infrastructure meaning its not owned by one its owned by all. personally i disagree with coping/cheating but there is a way to use another individuals work and be inspired. I believe that there is a strong line between stealing and using as inspiration.


I did like how they discus that infrastructure is in a sense copying but with out it we wouldn't really have anything like magazines. Through out life time infrastructure has been present   It was stated that if you had to create a new language and  create your own publishing nothing would ever get done. infrastructure will always be around but the problem is weather its actually infrastructure or copying.
