copyability
Ease of replication
Copyability is the quality of being able to be copied or reproduced.
The term appears in technical contexts—software licensing, digital rights management, file formats—where the ease or difficulty of duplication matters: The copyability of digital media makes piracy hard to prevent.
It can also describe how readily ideas, behaviors, or practices spread: The copyability of the technique made it popular among competitors.
