In its current use, I think it primarily means an out group person benefiting from another culture (out group to the person in question) with indifference to the circumstances of the cultural group from where the “thing” is being borrowed from.

It seems to revolve primarily around “giving credit” and or the originator receiving credit. It doesn’t seem like any cares about “borrowing” from the culture of there is no tangible benefit received (likes, attention, money, etc).

It’s more of a cultural economics phenomenon.
