About remixing and copying,

Well, recently someone copied my project. So as I promised I would in the project notes, I flagged it, and left a comment. The next day, I got a message in the message area from the Scratch Team that said:

     "We encourage remixing in the Scratch community, since we have seen how remixing can lead to creative, interesting projects. The website includes a "Based on..." link to give credit to the original author -- and we hope that remixers will also give credit in their Project Notes. Overall, we want the Scratch community to be full of creative activity and exciting projects, and remixing helps with that."

And the comment was gone. I would like to reply. I say, that it wasn't a remix. It was a copy. Now, I don't want to argue with the Scratch Team, but I'm not sure that it was necessary for that person to copy my project. There is a difference between remixing and copying. The Scratch Team just can't tell your project. It wouldn't go " 2 favorites 3 loves 7 remixes 4 copies", and I'm not expecting it to say that. What I am expecting is for is Scratch to understand what I'm trying to say.


"I've worked so hard for you and you give me nothing in return. Do you need help... Or do I?"

Re: About remixing and copying,

You could just email the Scratch Team instead of flagging if that is the case
