When people are unable to fundamentally change the current situation of huge profits from the system, they use copycat methods to meet their needs. Isn't this a rebellion against the huge profits in the industry? This kind of resistance, if it continues for a long time, will naturally become an act of huge profits in the industry. of corrective power. Shanzhai culture is an important force in promoting technological innovation and developing new technologies. From imitation to innovation is the inevitable way to create products with technological progress. Many products of copycat culture are imitations of advanced products.

At least, it has such a function. There is no doubt that copycat products under the framework of copycat culture can easily and even infringe the intellectual property rights of relevant companies. Therefore, we should intensify efforts to protect intellectual property rights, use legal power, use moral power, use public opinion, and carry out strict and effective control. Otherwise, the copycat culture will become an illegal and criminal culture, and the copycat products will become unscrupulous products.

It forces temple culture and temple products to pay more attention to the popular character of their own culture and products and promote social fairness and justice. Generally speaking, copycat culture is conducive to promoting social progress. Although it also has obvious shortcomings and problems, relative to its positive value, the existence of copycat culture does more good than harm to our current society.
