I think the few above who keep on bringing this old cliche about "good artist borrow, great artist steal" fail to understand the meaning of the message. What does it mean to steal? It means to take the ownership of another person's idea, yes, but it doesn't happen by one simply signing his name under it. You have to TAKE ownership of that idea, that is take half-developed idea and run with it until it BECOME yours. Became yours so strongly that you are identified with it. In that sense "stealing" anther person's idea is not as easy as reaching into another's pocket and pulling out his wallet.
