As someone who’s had some stuff blatantly copied, to the point that I could tell where exactly in the WIP process someone decided to steal from me, the amount of people that immediately jump to “well you don’t own this specific thing” / “it’s just a coincidence” / “well it’s not EXACT so it doesn’t count” / etc was shocking. I was literally traced and that wasn’t enough proof for people! This always happens every time someone is caught stealing, where everyone bends over backwards to defend the accused. I get that false accusations are horrible and should be avoided at all costs, but I don’t think there is any evidence that would be able to convince these kinds of people otherwise. It’s so disturbing.
It is disturbing because in the real world violating copyright is literally against the law. Even if this work wasn't legally copyrighted, it's still morally wrong to profit off of someone else's hard work.
I agree that false accusations are also terrible, but in this case we have multiple examples of visual proof that tracing is occurring.
