Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

Bad if they are implying that you copied someone (probably them).

In my experience only two people say that

dicks who copy off your work

and people who dont give a shit that someone copied your work

If you copy something like China does, it is pretty good because you're making something similar to another object and striving to make it better.

I see more effort into bootlegs and copies than original work sometimes. But it depends how the quality is.
