This was extremely thought provoking on a number of levels - particularly begging back to the ultimate question which is what is originality anyways? For example, we live in a society today where virtually every possible chord progression in music that sounds good together has been played together at some point. music has structure; it's rigid in that aspect yet, still we have new music everyday using the same chord progression as the song that played a million times on the radio the day before. If you ask me, the concept of originality or plagiarism is akin to Good and Evil meaning they're entirely subjective. What some would consider evil, others consider it the right way. True originality is a fleeting concept considering we're all just amalgamations of a world culture based around constantly copying people we look up to or what we think is cool at that time.
