Today, it's hard to establish the difference between "taking something and making it your own" and just straight up taking something. From new artists "using their resources wisely" to major companies creating almost identical versions of non-patent-protected artwork. Who's to say what's stolen and what's just open to be used? And how?!
Was Robin Thicke just taking creatively liberties with well-known work of an artist than only remains it's estate? Was Overstock.com just playing of the anatomy of a common fruit for a handy household product? Or was it all stolen?
What do you think? Is copyright just means of protection or a loop hole for thievery?
