I mean. The US did rip off British steam engines and European tech when it started. What sense does it make to not build on top of existing platforms and reinvent the wheel?

Have you noticed how all High speed rails look like a copy of Shinkansens?

The word 'copy' is used by these guys in a very very general sense here. And it tells how much they understand the basics of aerodynamics and layouts.

A delta wing for example is used on multiple aircrafts, but the configuration of its layout makes/breaks everything. Now a person who has no idea of aircraft configuration would say.. Hey, you copied delta wing configuration from so and so... In most cases, even a double delta or a modified delta is called 'delta' by these "experts".

The motorcycle is just 2 wheels, a swing arm and a frame along with wheels, suspension etc. Good job telling people that all the motorcycles were copied from each other 😂

Physics... Learn a bit of physics first.

I find it funny that whenever copying is brought up, people like you will bring up the fact that the US copied 100 years ago. Before international IP and patent regulations were implemented. Yes, everyone copied from everyone a long time ago. Which is why international IP and patent protections were established to stop that from happening.

Should the world continue to allow theft or should the world continue the progress it's made in stopping theft? I would say the world is better with less theft but if you think stealing should be allowed, that's your opinion. I just hope you don't teach that to your children if you have any...

EDIT: People that downvote a post that is anti-theft are probably thieves. You must all work at one of those online scam centers or steal from tourists just to survive. Either way, you're all pathetic excuses for human beings. I hope you eventually lose more than you steal or end up in prison with the rest of the evil people of the world.

That must be the most impassioned defense of patents I've seen in my life. If you do it for free and are not a paid astroturfer you are wasting your talent. Seriously, if you're good at something don't do it for free. Go and get paid, buddy.
