This is such a fascinating concept-the copy-isn't it? Think about it. There's the act of copying that is defined by reproducing, duplicating, or in some way replicating something that already exists. But copy is also a noun, the product or object of the action, the act of copying. That the act and the consequence/product have the same name only hints at the philosophical weirdness of "copy". Copy what? Copy how? Copy who? Copy an original, cover a song, print a photo, photocopy a chapter, multiply cells, replicate a document, (re)represent, imitate, mime, reproduce, etc… Are we constantly copying?
