Dish It Out But Can't Take It?

In the land of copycats, it seems like people might be feeling a little bit of the sting when someone copies something that you thought was only yours.

China must have wanted in on the action of 9 pretty, yet totally untalented, girls bouncing around ridiculously on stage. They created "Idol Girls," which is apparently a knock off of Korea's "Girl's Generation."

I don't think Koreans have much to get upset about here. The most popular television drama here last year was a ripoff of a Japanese comic and a Japanese drama.

I don't know which group is which. The description was unclear, and they're clones.

Some Koreans are saying it's plagiarism, while others are calling it parody. I guess the most important questions are: Who cares? And why do these groups exist at all?
