I don't think he's necessarily copying ideas. He used (somewhat) same plotlines for iCarly and Zoey 101 a few times. Example: Zoey 101: Zoey and her friends are stuck in her dorm room and must deal with each other's own problems. iCarly: Carly, Sam, and Freddie in the space capsule. Carly freaks out, Sam and Freddie continuously fight, Sam sneaks in food. Plus, IBeat the Heat, they are all stuck in the apartment, together. I think Dan doesn't really think of it as copying, more like "references."
