copy - NicheInterests/mistfunk GitHub Wiki

COPY n. A piece of artwork in which another piece of art was used as a visual reference to copy from. This term was coined in the demoscene by self-proclaimed original artists to seperate themselves from others who would commonly use famous or not so famous photographs of professional female models such as Cindy Crawford, sometimes nude or scantily clad as their source. Generally when something is referred to as a copy, this does not imply it is a "scan". (See also: Scan, Rip)
