Second rate trying hard copy cat?

Creativity is innate to human beings; I remembered someone who said that though people are different from each other, especially, the way we think, there is what we call a collective subconcious.

What is a collective subconcious? In a nutshell it is the concept attempting to explain why people have common interpretations of certain dreams or common experiences even if they were absolutely strangers to each other.

The collective subconcious can better be explained by a psychology major.

Why have I mentioned this collective unconcious? It is because there are cases with Intellectual Property (IP) dispute that is really hard to resolve.

Intellectual Property Laws may have protected one's creative works; however, there are instances when two or more creative works are practically the same but not necessarily copies of each other.

IP Law, for me, is quite vague and proving infringement is really hard to do. Sometimes, there is an absolute intention to infringe or plagiarize but at times, similarities are just brought about by the collective subconcious.

I do not promote plagiarism but, sometimes, plagiarism is hard to prove. One's concept may be the same as the other one but not necessarily copied.

For example, a movie script which has a particular plot and story will practically be a copy of another script from someone else but they never really saw each other's work.

What's my point, having said all of these?

My point is that though there are IP Law governing inventions, art works, etc, it is very hard to prove (at times) if infringement or plagiarism really was committed.
