They admit to copying some parts of it, not to totally copy it. Why are you putting words in his mouth? And copying is so overrated these days. By that I mean people forget that's how companies compete in the same space. They copy features from other and improve on them, or take the product in a different direction, and that's exactly what the founder of rolling.fm said he's doing. If each and every company had to do something 100% original, there wouldn't be a Pepsi to Coca-Cola. They didn't copy the exact formula of Coca-Cola, but I'm sure the author of Rolling.fm didn't copy the source code of turntable.fm either. He just made it similar enough to compete in the same space, but also different enough to be compelling over turntable.fm. And that's how companies compete with each other in every industry or market. And that's how progress happens and technologies evolve. People seem to be making such a big deal out of copying these days, because of all the patent lawsuits, which don't really allow you to do that. And that's another reason why the patent system is so broken. It doesn't take into account how business works in the real world.
