I don't find this argument very convincing. All artists draw some inspiration from previous artwork, that doesn't make it plagiarism. Even if it's heavily influenced by other artwork it's not plagiarism if it's something original.

My art started as copying sailor moon. Then copying other anime styles. I make totoro and other copyrighted characters into figurines. Creativity shouldn't ever be owned. It's not property. If these Chinese knock off companies can do it why can't I? Oh because I'm not a freaking corporation with lawyers.
