Have always wondered what is ok to "rip" off.

Tikiboob can and has been ripped off to death.
Shag is a definite no no that people will flip out over.

If you don't make your own style you won't be timeless.
When you see a Bosko you know it's his work.

Always felt that if you are doing the rip off for your own home or self, that's not so bad, but if you start selling your version of the idea that somebody else came up with that helps them take money away from you with your creation.

There was a guy that ripped off Wayne Coombs style that not much was ever said about on TC, and I think that guy worked for and Wayne even showed him how to do it.
There's a nice thank you all wrapped up in F-you.
But many did not care for Wayne till he died so it was overlooked.

It seams to depend also on who is doing the rip off and who is being ripped off, it helps to be connected.

So steal my ideas at will nobody will say anything.
