Well obviously theres not always a dark side when artists look to improve their work. Indeed inpsiration from others can help. Plus usually when an artist creates new stuff they get better and thats where 'evolution' comes from. Personally, like most artists I know, I'd prefer that to be an evolution based on original thinking and creativity, not taking from the efforts of others. That doesn't restrict anyone either, if anything having to be unique makes us look at new ways, which in turn makes us better artists with better products. Certainly makes us better people than being simple aplogists for takers. Though I guess it's for some it's quicker and easier to argue for the right to use regardless, rather than actually trying to create something themselves. Trying to convince them otherwise is also an pointless uphill struggle, so I'm bowing out of this debate and make some new content for everyone to enjoy. Might even be legit - shock horror :)
