I've written before about how copying can be an exercise of free speech. Recently an instance in which pure copying is deployed for critical purposes has been much in the news:
Tina Fey playing Sarah Palin, delivering Palin's interview answers with the same wording and even the same inflections. This is a great subject for performance theorists: words that mean one thing in the original speaker's mouth have very different meaning in another's.
