Definition
Plural of copyist; multiple people who copy documents, manuscripts, or artworks, or who habitually imitate others' work.
Etymology
Copyist (copy + -ist) pluralized with -s; the collective noun for those engaged in copying work.

The term copyist captures something fascinating: it can mean honest, meticulous professionals (like the monks who preserved classical literature) or dismissive names for unoriginal artists—context determines whether it's praise or insult.
