We are all products of input. What people say and write inspires us. As a songwriter and publisher I have become aware of the value and ownership of the written word. If I share something on Facebook, if its not original with me, I mention who made the quote or who inspired me. Never copy, paste and post without saying where it came from. Thats the respectful thing to do. I had a very famous gospel artist take a song I pitched her, with a very unique title, and write the same song basically with the same title with her name on it. I thought about suing; but, I didnt and asked God to bless me...and God has blessed me. Make sure to give honor where honor is due when sharing someone elses writing. :)
