Scratch

I don't think this is gonna be happening. There was a whole other topic about this... topic. It was rejected because it would go against Scratch's motto to
imagine ♦ program ♦ share

that stinks i though mabye it would happen sometime because the share part of their motto could mean sharing as in letting others play your games!

I agree with this idea, because people can steal projects that took them a very long time, but limit them to only 3-5 locked projects so we can keep this place like scratch

The sharing part of the Scratch motto means to be able to learn from other people's projects by always being able to see the blocks. Remixing, openness and sharing are part of the Scratch philosophy.

Mr/Mrs/Miss ScratchR:

We mean that people can copylock a project so that people can look at the scripts, but cannot edit them or save anything in them, this is so that project robbers (AKA stealers) won't get away with it. The only things that they can't do are: Uploading a project on a different user, add new scripts, and recolour sprites. The only things you can do are: View the project in fullscreen and save it.

Is that clear? (yes, I'll be    if they did this, but if not, i'll be  .)

i think that Jordanuk2's idea is good what if they allow you to see the script but you cant edit it or publish it that would be kind(i t would alllow everyone to view the script but and learn form it but not copy it and publish it) But you should be allowed to choose if you copy-lock it or not so people can still remix projects and edit them if the other person allows it!

I disagree with the idea, but there is one problem:

Suppose you spent weeks making the perfect sprite, great detail and hundreds of great costumes. Then you uploaded the project, and guess what? People take the sprite and don't give credit. You can always beg for credit in the project notes, but there's no guarantee.

One thing that I also hate is when someone downloads a project and uploads it on their user without changing a single thing. Someone once did that on my Star Wars Sprite Collection, and guess what? He didn't edit the project notes, so they were signed 'Jonathanpb'...

how can you allow people to read the script without letting them publish it!

Here is your copy protection, host the project and player on your own server.

Remixing allows newer Scratchers to get the hang of the ropes.
