Is copying your work always flattering? Or is it just plain nasty?

What would you do if a close friend was coping your artwork? And I don't mean just a little.. or like they were inspired by you. But out and out copying and passing your ideas off as their own??

And by coping I mean that people actually say to you, "Hey! Have you seen _____'s work!?! It's EXACTLY yours! Editing and props and location and everything!"


Would you be flattered or pissed?


Oh... and she doesn't really admit to it either. And actually gets upset with you that you even suggested such a thing.


Message me off-list. I'd like to know what you have to say.

Thanks!
