I Have Heard Of Many Copiers From Scratch Members. The Copiers Are (That I Have Heard Of) mina, alex21alex, Raymen29, Hazzude, And Davidchen (Or Is It David Chen? I'm Not Sure). But The King Of All Copiers Is.............glough. He Takes Projects And Re-Uploads Them Changing Only The Name. He Calls Everyone "n00bs". Besides, You Spell That "Noobs". Anyways, They Might Say It Is Free Advertisement, But Most Members Say What Is Most Likely The Truth. It Is COPYING. Copying Is Against The LAW. Scratch Team, I Wanna Go To Your University For College, And I Do Think That You Should Believe Me. The Terms Of Use Says "Be Respectful". Copying Is NOT RESPECTFUL.

While glough didn't give credit to any of the projects, the projects display (automatically) the credit to the original creator. Therefore the copying is not illegal because it follows the license assigned to all the projects shared on this website.

glough's IP was banned because his attitude towards others was disrespectful.

I am with blueblue. "Don't copy!" Isn't that what our history teachers tell/told us???

If glough is as good as he says he is, why can't he create his own projects instead of swiping others?

There really should be a way to flag someone as a copier. There is a person on scratch that is really bugging me. His name is "glough". He copies every new project that comes out! If possible, please get rid of him. 

Plus i trusted him then he cursed

glough does copy, sorry my 9 yr old sister, Molly wrote comments agreeing with him

sometime if the programing is a bit different but all the costumes and background are same you dont see the "based on"

Sounds like two different things are being discussed here.  1) One is that some users are taking credit for something someone else did.   2) Another is the idea of sharing (being free to download or upload code originally no matter who originally wrote it). 

Sharing is more important than most people realize. It is a way of thinking...a way that encourages people to help those around them.  It makes it easier for us to learn when others are willing to show us how they did things that we don't yet know how to do. 

But taking credit for something someone else thought of IS disrespectful!  We added the "based on" hoping that it would give more people the credit they deserved, without having to give up all the benefits of sharing.  If anyone knows of projects that are missing the "based on" credits or if users post comments taking credit for something another designed please do flag it!

<stop all> copiers!

Y'know, I've seen some projects where glough comentsand is actualy pretty nice. I think someone hacked his account. It is likely.

I noticed earlier in the topic that andresmh asked for an example of copying a project and slightly editing the scripts. Once, Raymen29 copied someone's Mario game and made Mario change colors.

Oh, and, I don't think it's copying to edit an example project. The creators suggested in the project notes that they could edit it in various ways! However, that is for the mods to judge.

Well... I'm not sure if this will help or not... But if you type in "Contact Us" in the search bar, you can report him/her to the Scratch Gods(aka the Scratch Team) XD

But it really goes down to this: Is he/her copying you COMPLETELY? Or are they remixing it? Or more importantly, did they give credit? I have no clue though, I'm not you     Well, let's hope you can figure this out

And not to sound like a dork or anything but, you really shouldn't blame someone in the forums becuase it makes them look bad... You probaly should say "Somebody is copying me" Aw well, I'm a dork OK? 

Hope this helps! 

Mega bump xD

But good post
