The document discusses the boundaries between plagiarism, copying, appropriation, and homage in creative works. Plagiarism involves taking someone else's work and passing it off as your own without changes. Copying involves making something similar but with small differences where the overlap is still clear. Appropriation interprets another's style using your own identity. Homage intends to honor the original creator through a new work inspired by them. The value placed on these acts decreases from plagiarism being punishable to homage being appreciated. Originality and respect for the original are important, as is considering the context of the work. Culture jamming, for example, may be appreciated by audiences even if not by original creators.

PLAGIARISM | COPYING | APPROPRIATION | HOMAGE
_Where is the boundary?
I think you can see it in one following line, worst is plagiarism. When you take something
without changing pretending it is yours. Copying, making something with a little difference
but you can see clearly overlap. Appropriation is an interpretation of style, using your own
identity, Homage is with the intention of the original making an work to honer the maker.
In this order we can also value them, where plagiarism gets punished, a homage can be
loved. Originality and respect for the original a I think key words in this. Also the context is
important. What we can see in for example culture jamming. That is loved by the audience
but dont get that rewards from the makers.
