I was reading a LC interview a while ago and they told their opinion about Evanescence

They said everybody was telling them Evanescence was copying their style so they heard it and thought Evanescence remember them but also remembers Linkin Park, although they also said they only heard one song from them back then (guess which one it was?)

I think LC and Evanescence are the same style of music, but they have their own style. What many metal fans say about Evanescence being copycat of Lacuna Coil (I did say it at first) is some kind of jealous feeling or maybe only hearing Evanescence few times. In my case, in the 4th day I heard Evanescence other songs, I could clearly see the differences, but the voice is almost the same
