In addition to Alex Halavais' (non-apologetic) notion of 'cheating
good', I'd like to add that 'copying' or rather imitating can be an
effective strategy in language-learning, again, if done right. I'll
add a link to a paper on 'microplagiarism' as I dubbed it in
preparation of the 2007 microlearning conference in Innsbruck, which
looks at specifically this aspect:

The full conference proceedings should also still be available on
microlearning.org
