Copycat Syndrome- X¥, Play on target Prime Runner (PR). It is now legal to
have more than one of target PR card in play. If Copycat Syndrome is
trashed and duplicates of target PR card are in play, frag all but one of
target PR. Randomly determine which cards are fragged. X = Deployment cost
of target PR. Art: Janet Aulisio. Common

I think JD was clarifying for us the difference btw. Unique and Prime.
Your explanation and his does help to explain the difference to everyone.
With Copycat Syndrome, due to Dodger being Prime, you can copy the sucker.
I think (and I'm probably wrong, but it seems like too much of a convenient
coincidence...) that Copycat Syndrome came out to aid in the use of
Genetics Lab, so you can clone those troublesome Prime Runners (i.e., The
Great Torgo-Fish) as well as others.
