Q: Do you get copied ?
Lets say you show up at work in a new style of clothing, you buy a new kitchen appliance or similar. I would not say it is uncommon that people get inspired by the actions of others, but I think often here people go out and replicate what they have seen others do.
my teaching methods and presentations get copied all the time, they call it frying the foreigner, like an egg in the pan, get what you want from him and find another one.
I tend to get out of having most of my teaching materials and methods copied by simply just refusing to turn them over in full. If you need to give them anything, you can just give the first 2 or 3 pages and say that that is it.
For clothing and appliances I don't think that there is much risk of being copied. Most of it is the same in China anyway.
You can't really call it copying if it's a store you bought it from. It's not like they specifically designed that piece of clothing for you to wear or that kitchen appliance for you to use. It it's a good deal and a good quality expect people to buy it. That's not called copying.
Now if you create something like a saying and people hear it and start saying that saying over and over to try and claim it that's called copying. See what I mean!
What you described is not copying. . . .
Scandinavian:
What you understood is not copying. Obviously it is the act of acquiring said goods that is copied. E.g. people never have the idea to get Object X, until you do, then they show up the next day saying now they also have Object X.

I use to sell items. The purpose of me selling was to get the product into the customers hands and everybody that they know! That's not called copying it's called being smart if the deal is good!
