Scratch

The line between a remix and a copy is not very well defined, and different people have different opinions. IMO, it might just be a remix. I'll ask the Scratch Team about it.

This is a hard question. But I'll try to give a simple answer.

A remix is a project based on an original project whose scripts or sprites have been modified.

By this definition, even changing an argument from 10 to 11 in the "move x steps" block, or adding a pixel or two to a costume makes a project a remix.  Obviously, this is just one place to draw the line, and for some, these requirements will be too simple. But where to draw the line isn't a simple problem. It's possible to make a pretty profound change to a project just by tweaking a few scripts.

When it comes to enforcement, we generally will allow a project to stay up as long as there's no evidence that the sharer intended to break the community guidelines by taking credit for another's work. When we see that, we'll usually take the project down. If we're not sure, we'll comment to ask them to clarify credit. If an account is repeatedly used to try and take credit for someone else's work, despite warnings, we'll usually block it until we can talk to them and make sure that our rules are clear.

I'm glad this is coming up, because I'd like to hear Scratcher's thoughts on the issue. In Scratch 2.0, it'll be even easier to remix, and we're thinking about making some programmatic limits on this (i.e. if no sprite and no script has been changed from the original, a Scratcher cannot "share" the project, and instead they receive a message asking them to make changes to make it a valid "remix" before sharing it again).

Oh that is very good thank you. In your last paragraph you said:

I have made a few changes in colour from about 4 to 5 sprites wich I assume Is ok.


Thank you guys for your help. I really appreciate it.
