Appropriation, unlike stealing, allows someone to use their own creativity to develop ideas, but someone else may have inspired that idea.  Stealing is completely different, because then someone's project or work is unoriginal and really belongs to someone else.  Appropriation is completely fine,  while stealing is wrong and is never a good idea.  Coming up with the idea by yourself, or by using someone else as inspiration, results in a great project or piece of work.  Stealing results in repetition and unoriginality.
