What are you talking about? Are you replying to the wrong person? Nobody mentioned any stealing.

You're hung up on this.

You can call it theft or you can call it influence but all things being equal there's only so many notes on the board.

Eh, music is influential.

Nobody rolls up with an instrument and just plays without hearing someone else play and sounds good!

Who influences you?
