so i just ran into this:
http://fontleech.com/03/25/2005/…
and then looked at this:
is this guy tDR or just an uber fan?
- mevsthem0
those typeface[s] have been around for along time now. YWFT has Novum, most of those characters are different from build[s] why shouldn't he be able to make his own version?
- mevsthem0
but u can tell he's tDR and Build inspired.
- pascii0
who's not? look at buro destruct
- rasp0
im not sure inspired is the word
- ethios0
thats too similar for my liking...
- ethios0
But to his credit, he has some awesome fonts on his site
- version30
no originial ideas
i built a font from scratch then found one very similar made in the 60's
- ethios0
Exactly, originality is non-existant but here's a quote I like to stick by:
"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."
- josimarX0
'originality is found in a little valley between the villages of Inspiration and Plagiarism'
I heard that somewhere once.I wouldn't say it's 'non-existent' though ethios, with an attitude like that, what's the point? what could possibly drive you?

yeah, i'm not trying to judge whether this is good or bad at all, but it could be an interesting conversation.
very similar to a conservation over at designobserver about "ownership" in design.

dude ivan did you just wish that NT have discussions like the ones at designobserver?
BWHAHAHAHAHAAH!
- ivan_cook0
MrZ- haha actually that particular discussion over there was much like an NT discussion to their dismay. it went WAY to far and got locked.

the thread actually started out with someone calling Michael Bierut of Pentagram an "arrogant snob" and went downhill from there.
very bad scene IMO.
