You ask why should inspiration be last resort. Because originality should be the first. Looking at others art work for inspiration is done everyday. But originality is what we are taught right? Isn't that the point? To create creative solutions for our clients. Not to rip someone else for our clients. Free inspiration is the same as piracy. What is wrong with it is that you are not paying the person who inspired you to create a piece you are getting paid for. That is why it should be last resort. Then the price you are asking to be paid to be inspired by someone else's piece is also wrong. If the idea isn't yours. Why get paid for it? Or why not lower the price you bid if you are going to be inspired by someone else. Or share the profits.
As I said, piracy will always be. I just think we should give back when we become successful enough to do so.
Companies have their privacy tactics to figure out who is doing this and what not. The fact that they are pouring this money into piracy issues instead of making the programs that much better should tell you that it is an issue.
Spending the money when you can is better then never spending it. For the companies at least. I am sure if you bought all your warez, you wouldn't be so quick to letting your boys use it as well. It starts somewhere.
word! More feedback please!
