That was kind of my point. Possibly I failed to convey that effectively.But it appears I was off-base, in that Scott was asking about something else. As I said previously, its a hard thing to call without a concrete example. Not knowing who is being inspired by/plagiarising you, Scott, I couldn't really make a judgement on it one way or the other. to ZaXorZ, though that was a ways back:

Essentially what they're saying is that you do it so well, they are trying to find the same magic you portray. Granted, plagerism is still flattery even though it is essentially the same thing, but plagerism is a bit more. It is an attempt to take exactly what you have done and take credit for it for their own personal game.If there is an imitator style, understandable. Be flattered and don't worry about it. If they are taking your ideas and trying to market them for financial gain, be pissed.If this is purely about style issues, thank them for their interest in you and leave it alone.As you know, Scott, the cream always rises to the top in the art world. You can fake it for only so long. Those with talent will endure. Those without drop off really fast and no one remembers them. Imitation is complete flattery.
