Hehe, if you didn't know that, it's okay -- that's sort of the intent. There's nothing wrong with taking inspiration from pop culture references as long as we don't give people the impression that we're actually sponsored by or affiliated with the owner of the material.
For those of you who are interested in the legal theories involved: (Spoilered out because (1) I'm not a lawyer so my statement shouldn't be considered legal advice, and (2) it's not actually important to anything so I don't want to make it seem like it's something that needs to be read for any reason other than "I'm curious what Coda's saying about this!") | ||||

I'm just gonna say that certain sites have pissed me off with their copying. And other certain sites look like Trisphee (or other avi sites >.>) -ripoffs half the time.

Well sure, like I said, just because it's not technically illegal doesn't mean it doesn't look bad. :P That's why we try to avoid it.

Yup, we try our hardest to make sure our items are unique and couldn't be considered a copy off of anyone else's -- to the point that we actually keep an eye on other site's DIs to try to make sure we don't accidentally come up with the same thing at the same time.

We've had a couple times where our items have ended up close enough that people asked questions both directions, but I don't know if there's been anything that's obviously a copy.

Oh certainly not the first but we do like to think we're a little more story-oriented than most.
