I think it's a question of how much people a given distance away feel they can get away with.
My own intellectual property theft took place in college in the mid-1990s. I'd come home for Christmas break and watched the KNBC local newscast, and was impressed by a radically different opening title sequence and graphics style. So as soon as I got back to college in Tacoma, WA I promptly shot a new, nearly identical open for the college newscast and mimicked the graphics look as best I could with a Commodore Amiga. Within a year every Seattle affiliate had changed their graphics to match what I'd stolen from LA, and people on campus were impressed with my vision. I'd post a link to both NBC LA's opening and the one I did, but it looks like I never uploaded mine onto my YouTube channel. Suffice it to say, yes it's theft and yes it's wrong, but I don't think either Conan or his propmaster have lost revenue as a result of it.
