- w1ntermute 13y agoThe same way good old Benjamin Franklin did as he pirated the works of British authors: http://www.victorianweb.org/authors/dickens/pva/pva75.html http://www.victorianweb.org/authors/dickens/pva/pva75.html
- gnoway 13y agoNot exactly, Ben wasn't asserting that he created the works.
- continuations 13y agoSo like Steve Jobs, who accused Microsoft of stealing "his" ideas when in fact he stole those ideas from Xerox? http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?story=A_Rich_Neighbor_Named_Xerox.txt http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?story=A_Rich_Neighbor_N...
- rahoulb 13y agobought those ideas from Xerox and then added a whole load of extra stuff to them (icons, pull-down menus)
- jrs99 13y agoThe same way anybody learning anything starts out. Imitation happens every single time someone learns anything. Read the early works of any writer, look at the early work of any painter. You'll find imitation. Look at a child pretending that he's a policeman. Look at Jackson Pollock's early work and compare it to Benton's. I don't know why people look down on imitation. Everyone in the world is an imitator. You have to start somewhere. Even an entire nation has to start somewhere.

- josephagoss 13y agoI think chourobin is talking about how the CEO aspires to be like Steve and even dresses like him... The ultimate Chinese copycat? (I disagree but I think thats the jist of what chourobin meant)
