I just want to say one thing, how would you like it if someone took all your own work that you worked so hard on, days, weeks maybe months, and they simply stole it and presented it as their own? I bet you would not like it one bit at all. Now imagine how these writers feel when their work is either stolen or simply plagiarized by someone else. Copyrights are in place for a reason, it is to protect someones work or ideas from any top of intruders from doing such things. If you are going to use the writers work as a reference however for informational or educational purposes, go right ahead but only if you give proper recognition to them since it is after all their hard work and should not go on without it being known.

It true that copyright is meant to protect the idea of the owner but sometimes it not able to protect the work completely. Some idea are taken and bent to the point where it’s almost completely different. Let’s say a movie come out about war. So another person might get an idea of the movie and makes his own war movie but it’s completely different from the other one. The idea is taken but not the work.
