Make-up transformation is at range in the country
today. Makeup Transformation is an act of transforming into your target
celebrity by the means of putting on makeups, wigs, contact-lenses and other
cosmetic products to copy the features of the celebrity you wanted to imitate.
Paolo Ballesteros, host of Filipino’s longest-running noon time show ‘Eat
Bulaga’, have gained international fame because of this.
While makeup transformation is just an act of
imitating a celebrity’s features and uploading it on the internet to show off
your artful skills, there is a trend nowadays that seemed to have the elements
of make-up transformation but it does not. I know this is somehow confusing,
what I’m trying to say is that the thing I’m pointing out seems to be a bit
similar to how we (netizens) do makeup transformation but is unlikely to be
considered as good as makeup transformations could be because it doesn’t build
us up to gain some fame through our hard works but instead teaches us to gain
fame with the use of others hardships; if you know what I mean.
If still out in the blue, let me give you a clue.
This is an act or instance of using or closely imitating the language and
thoughts of another author without authorization and the representation of that
author's work as one's own, as by not crediting the original author, according
to the Dictionary.com. Okay I guess you’ve already got a hint of what I’m
talking about and so *Drum roll* Yes, the answer is Plagiarism!
Admit it or not (don’t dare deny it) you’ve already
committed the sin of plagiarising someone’s beloved work, whether it is an
article, a book, a video, music, photograph or an art work you have taken
control of using your keyboard’s CTRL C + CTRL V to your heart’s content. Though
you might be taking it for granted, there is a law that prohibits you to do
this kind of actions; you may want to take a good look of Republic Act. no.
8293 also known as the “Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines” created on
July 6, 1997 (http://www.lawphil.net/statutes/repacts/ra1997/ra_8293_1997.html)
Well as what an idiom says ‘what comes around goes
around’. It will always be not a moral action to steal someone else’s works
just to make your own more appealing, it might be a little thing to you by now
but as you go on continuing what you do, little things might get bigger and
bigger until karma lead it’s way to you.
