I think, it's much like in music. If you copy-paste only very small, unrecognizable pieces of the original music sheet into your composition, then there will be no problem. But if you copy the whole opus (or too large chunks from it) then try to modify it, skilled people can still realize that it's not your original work, but is based on (e.g.) Beethoven 5. To be original, your work must be based on your original ideas.
