I have always found the idea of plagiarism to be ridiculous. How much of life is new? People are born, they go through a certain set of problems, struggles, life experiences. It's fairly easy for 2 artists/writers to think the same thought and have the same idea.
The difference is in the rendition of the idea. However, even that could be the same. When I tried to title a book I wrote recently which I am still trying to get published, I thought of 2 titles and then searched online just to see they have not been used before. Both of them have been used-exactly as I was wording it, one citation dating back to 1814. No kidding.
The only difference between an original thought and the plagiarized one is that of conviction. That's it. The one who plagiarizes an idea would not feel it in his blood.
