Two Fashion Influencers Have Gone To War Over Similar Instagram Accounts
When it comes to plagiarism on Instagram, ideas cannot be protected in the same way as they are in the publishing, art or music industries. So when another Instagram user starts copying your work, is there anything you can actually do?
Well, that's exactly the predicament fashion blogger Jenn Lake found herself in recently, so she took to her site to (without naming any names) call out another Instagram user for copying her ideas.
"Someone has been using my Instagram account as a template for their own," she wrote. "This person has systematically copied my channel, captions, location concepts, and personal style for more than three years… As a result, I've taken immense steps to try and evolve the look and feel of my Instagram account to further differentiate myself and push the creative boundaries. Every time I pivot into new territory, the individual does the same soon thereafter."
