What is Copyright?

I just thought that I would share this with the users of FP.

Most of it. The reason I shared this is because I have noticed that SOME people like to copy things.

Recently I have had a wave of people copying code and images from AF

Sharing this is nice but won't stop people from copying either other or certain stuff.

In everyday life we copy each other all the time.

Commendable effort. Lawyer's have been getting rich for year's because of people "copying" other peoples idea's.

I don't mean to make it look like I'm targeting anyone, but I find that most allegations of "copying" on this forum are completely unfounded. For example, some allege that their ideas have been copied, but they fail to mention that "their" ideas were copied from another person. I'm not saying that all allegations of copying on this forum are baseless accusations, but most are.

I think that they shouldn't care because if it's one forum copying the genre of another or something of that sort, as I've seen complaints about, and the "Copier" becomes more popular, they're just jealous.
