copied
Reproduced the original
Copied is the past tense of copy—to reproduce or duplicate something.
You might have copied a file, copied someone's homework, or copied a painting.
In digital contexts, copied often refers to placing text or data on a clipboard for pasting elsewhere: I copied the address but forgot to paste it.
To say someone copied you is to accuse them of imitation.
