Scratch

Then they have plagiarized you, which is three sins at once: lying, cheating, and stealing. And sadly, some people just don't care to do three things that break the "common sense" rule in life just for their personal gain. It's sad. I recently had one of my projects plagiarized, and it's very frustrating.

When you put a project up onto the scratch website, it's fair game. Anyone can use what they want with it. If you don't want people looking/taking stuff from it, don't put it up onto the Scratch Website in the first place. I remember seeing somewhere putting a scratch project onto a different website without uploading it, do that if you care that much.

yeah but they are still expected to give credit, no?

Scratchers like to look at games and remake them in Scratch. Yet that isn't counted as thievery here (unless, of course, you happen to be a company like Namco-Bandai).

What makes this case tricky is the degree to the ownership. Sure, the project started off on Scratch, but the person who remade the game took the effort to remake the game in another language, which is not easy. You could ask the remake owner to give credit if it's based on your game, but that's about it.

One a side note, if you're one of those people who are very uncomfortable with other people using your creation, then it's best not to upload them anywhere at all (Scratch, deviantART, Newgrounds, etc.). Anytime something is posted online, anyone can see it and derive a new creation off of it.
