Look out!
You dont know what you might start here by critisizing the practice of
appropriation. This has been going on for hundreds of years-- way before
digital technologies brought it to the level of ease that we're at now.
As long as you're talking "sad," I'd have to say that it's sad that
someone has
to judge others' art practices in this way-- who says that that
borrowing isn't
a part of creativity-- there is a HUGE precedent set already about this.
Go ahead & back up your hyothesis about the psychological & social
destructiveness of this practice-- I'd love to hear.
