The thing is though that some people have never heard the original version so our 'cover' might actually be new to them or even help them.

Brilliant stuff DB40!<br /><br />I had no idea any of your posts were from ideas from those other sources, and at the end of the day I come here because I like your style of writing, so even now I know where they originally came from, it really doesn't matter. There are very few truly original thoughts or ideas in the World at this point in time, even if you had one you thought was original, someone elsewhere probably already had it, so you could end up writing a post on it and someone could read it and think you'd copied it anyway. All about giving it your own personal spin and making it fun, readable, and interesting and informative, which you achieve easily with your post (case in point... this one!)theFIREstarterhttp://thefirestarter.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2980246226076317453.post-71138608115735222272014-08-13T12:41:48.837-07:002014-08-13T12:41:48.837-07:00Loved your twist about coming back to personal fin...Loved your twist about coming back to personal finance!

I don't mean to say it's really stealing, just that people are using someone else's music or art or writing as the foundation for their own performance, so they need to be careful. It can be a tribute, if done thoughtfully...it can be outright theft if it's done clumsily.<br /><br />I agree that genuine ideas are rare in PF, so I figure that allows more room for covers here than you might want to see in popular music.Done By Fortyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06246597867355460723noreply@blogger.com
