If you are active in Flickr, you will definitely come across talented young girl who creates outstanding photographs, Rosie Hardy. Till one day, someone posted a discussion on how she copies other artists from Deviantart. So now, she had received notice on how her words can have a lawsuit against her.

I digged up some old thread, this one is posted by kandinsky.
If the statement above is legit, she hasn't done anything wrong , has she?
I perceive the works she posted as a mere emulation. There's no law/rule that says you have to credit an artist that inspires you.It is not wrong in attempting to reproduce other works in an effort to understand the process.
If this is copying, then we should restrict works for only the first. The first guy who shoots a sunrise at Changi, the first one who shoots a Persian cat on top of a couch. The first one who captures a girl on top of a hill with red balloons, no? Since everything else which arrives later is copying their concept.
Spill your thoughts , please.
