I'm very much for "borrowing" and even "stealing" ideas. I'm even ok with characters being stolen. Within reason and due credit has to be given. Take and reshake. The most unique thing a writer has is his voice. As long as you don't take that I'm very forgiving. But switching out odd words is stealing the voice. That's a big no no.
I am very much for copyright. I just wanted to point that out.
