Evolution: "A gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form"

Rip off: "a copy or imitation"


with your high logic you fuel my arguments rather than yours:

"something changes" what changed? thin air? nope, the something that is at the basis for the evolution is the part that was changed, and this basis is the rip off, hence why your non quantitative theory is completely absurde.

for you, is taking a song and changing the last word of the lyrics not a copy because it's not fully identical? that's where you're making your quantitative mistake.

High logic? I know your being sarcastic but honestly it was very simple logic. You said evolution was the correct term. It cannot be a rip off if its an evolution. Now your saying it isnt an evolution? You were the one to bring that term. I thought it was a good term myself. It has the same basic functions (totally agree here), but then add 3D positioning and the camera features to those basic features, which I think is an evolution.

About your song example, its a pretty interesting example indeed. Though, the question isnt, is rip off quantitative or not. The meaning of the word is clear enough on this subject. The question is: where does being a rip off start or stop? What your talking about isnt quantitativity, its relativity.
