No, it's absolutely necessary for us to be sensitive to plagiarism.

Shanzhai and plagiarism are the eternal topics on the Internet in China (see the discussion on the topic of knowledge). Several common sayings in recent years:

* Plagiarism and imitation are necessary stages.
There is nothing new in the sun, no thing is completely original.
* China http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/3518.html "> Internet companies are copied, but not every one can copy success." Copy does not mean success, we should not simply because a company plagiarism against it.
* The United States also has plagiarism.
* In the link above, it was suggested that "a lot of people put the plagiarism thing too far, we don't need to be so sensitive to this thing" view.

I think we are not too sensitive to plagiarism, too harsh, too serious, but too numb, too indulgent, too cynics. The worst part of plagiarism is that we have no good stuff available.

People with Twitter have a sense of superiority and 95% of their friends are using Sina Weibo. While using Sina Weibo, we are saying, "If there is a Sina Weibo client like Tweetbot."

People like to use good things, especially when the price difference is small, or equal to zero.

There's a strange thing: product managers, programmers, and designers, while using App:path, Square, Tweetbot, monitors, clear, which represents the highest level of design, have opted for plagiarism and imitation.

When you choose to copy and imitate, you no longer consider the needs of users, no longer from the user needs to start. Your starting point, and in Beijing suburbs spent huge sums of money to build a European castle of corrupt officials no difference: people have, I want to have. Anyway, there is a resource in the hands, why not?

When you choose to emulate Loren Brichter's "cascading panel" interface for the Twitter-enabled ipad, Sina Weibo users are doomed to not have a top-notch iPad client available. You and Twitter are not the same idea, the goal is not the same, the duration is not the same, you should only from your product philosophy, objectives, the duration of the concept of design.

The complete 1:1 of plagiarism makes your soul shrink, and partial plagiarism can damage the integrity of your work. A design that does not start with a user's needs--whether it's your own user's needs, your "invention" of the user's needs, or the "discovery" of the user's needs--is not a good design. Finally, as a user, we still have no good things available, or only to use Path, Instagram, Twitter, as we want to cross the border to Hong Kong to buy imported milk powder.

Sensitive to plagiarism, because I like to use good software and good-looking software. I hope that 95% of people in China will be able to use the software more and more better (see).
