What if i copy someone else idea abt a template, like the same color scheme, and the same types of graphics. Like for example:
Person A create this image, I also create the same type of image using photoshop, and say the work as mine. Is this ripping ?

Nah, but it can't be exactly the same, otherwise you lose originality and it will be classified as ripping. But theres nothing wrong with getting a few ideas.

Then it is not ripping. :yes: You can't be punished for re-creating
someone else's image, and as long as you have solid proof that you
made it, (you will need it) you can't be punished. (Naturally, the image wouldn't look exactly the same as the one you have taken inspiration from anyways.)

It couldnt be ripping, otherwise people wouldnt create graphic tutorials on how to make abstract backgrounds and such.

Just dont claim the pattern for yourself, as it wasent your idea.

It's not "ripping" since you didn't claim the original image, or an edited form of the original image as your own. It is, however, considered "plagiarism", although there is no real penalty for that, except maybe a bit of disrespect from some people (including the original artist).

What if someone just copied the whole structure of my RP board, the entire descriptions, everything? Is that ripping? If it is, where can I report it?

Noppers. It's called reproducing.

I remember I had to reproduce all these famous paintings back in art class. I liked doing the one with the old man and his wife, I got the old farmer’s bean head right. xP
