| We all want to make beautiful websites full of graphics, lots of sophisticated text, and things that make people stop and say "that Website is very interesting and fun to look at". In fact, all artists are inspired by what they find around them. Being a copycat is okay. But when you use what you find, and it belongs to someone else, and you just take it without getting permission from the rightful owner, then you are just a COPYRAT. As you can see from the poem below by Jack Prelutsky, no matter how artistic you are, you're still considered a big fat copyrat. Once a rat, always a rat. |

Poem by Jack Prelutsky
|
| I met a rat of culture
who was elegantly dressed, in a pair of velvet trousers and a silver-buttoned vest, he related ancient proverbs and recited poetry, he spoke a dozen languages, eleven more than me. |
He had circled the equator,
he had visited the poles, he extolled the art of sailing, while he baked assorted rolls, he wove a woolen carpet and he shaped a porcelain pot, then he sang a operetta while he danced a slow gavotte. |
| The rat was perspicacious,
and had cogent things to say on bionics, economics, hydroponics, and ballet, he instructed me in sculpture, he shed a light on keeping bees, then he painted an acrylic of an abstract view of cheese. |
He was versed in jet propulsion,
an authority on trains, all botany and baseball were contained within his brains, he knew chemistry and physics, he had taught himself to sew, to my knowledge, there was nothing that the rodent did not know. |
 |
He was vastly more accomplished
then the billions of his kin, he performed a brief sonata on a tiny violin, but he squealed and promptly vanished at the entrance of my cat, for despite his erudition he was nothing but a rat. |

BIG Has Been Here" by Jack Prelutsky, drawings by James Stevenson, published

between a copycat and copyrat?
Computer #2 says: Copycat's websites can be popular but Copyrat's websites have to stay underground. |
