Good theft vs. Bad Theft, what's the difference? To be honest, there isn't a big difference, but the small difference that there is makes the biggest impact. When someone says 'nothing is original,' by being unoriginal, or copying another artist's work and applying it to your own work, it's creating a whole new original type of art. When someone is 'copying' someones work, they're really just applying it to another person's work. So in essence, being unoriginal, is being original.
Good theft is based on a passion. When a someone uses another artist's work to enlighten another person's life, they aren't stealing, they're transforming their work.
