Look at some of Bodoni's earliest works (such as Saggio tipografico), and compare it with Pierre Simon Fournier le Jeune. The similarities are startling. Bodoni even used the same borders!
But hey, he's considered one of the finest designers. He didn't rip. He was "influenced." Which I agree on, as he evolved his style into something different.
My point is, "ripping" has occured for many centuries, and will likely always occur. Someone does something that everyone likes. "Influence" is expected. I don't completely condone it, but on the other hand, I think history has shown a lot of people have grown from their copycat days.
