Are these two not conflicting? If they feel inspired to use other's work as a way of honoring them, isn't that similar to them respecting their work?
I'm just confused because it sounds like most of the time it's a matter of perspective. If you think from the way you've been brought up that what they're doing is disrespecting other's property, but they see it as respecting - is there a right/wrong?

As I said in the original comment, other countries have felt the same way, but their views changed as they began to value intellectual property more. Is that right or wrong? The truth is fluid.
