If you are creative and have been through the feeling of thinking your work has been copied, you know the feeling it brings on. Your stomach drops and you get fuzzy-headed while time seems to stand still. Many of us have been there. And it sucks. However, it’s not always as bad as it feels like. Even if you are blatantly ripped off, you let it take over your brain. This episode will take you through the ways you may feel copied, all the way through what to do about it. Hopefully, it never happened to you, but just in case, let’s make sure you’re prepared.

Here is what’s covered in this episode:

* Feeling copied by a peer.* Being ripped off by big business.* Are you really being copied?* Is there anything legally to do if you are copied?* How to emotionally deal with it?* How to deal with it professionally.

*The author I referenced is Temple Grandin and I was recalling parts of her book Thinking In Pictures.
