Pretty much all literature, art and film rips off somebody else or in the very least are influenced, often heavily, by other ideas which in some way are rip offs of other ideas, which are influenced by other previous ideas etc.
Reminds me of that ######ed pic posted earlier of how Avatar is just a rip off of Disney's Pocahontas but fails to recognize that Disney ripped their story off from others.
While Octothorp has a point that there are original stories left, it doesn't change the fact that no ideas are free of influence. (which in a way does make them not original)

This is a weird way to look at it though. There are only about eight basic story plots in total and they are continually recycled. Avatar (or any movie) shouldn't have to acknowledge all the other stories that came before it with the same/similar basic plot elements.
