People Are Unfair :c Please Read

I posted before a week a project named "HARLEM SHAKE! [LONG]" and a few days later I saw it on the front page, but it wasn't mine...


Someone just copied me without giving credits and got all the fame for it.
Isn't that a little bit unfair?




Tell me, what should I do?
What would you do?

Please help!!!

While remixing is allowed, complete copying is not (I don't think). I guess you could report it, but I'm not really sure.

Also, wrong section.

It is unfair, and you should report it (click flag as inappropriate, type that it is a copy), but if the scripts are changed, you can't get it removed for it being a copy. Which is kind of unfair, but I guess you could tell everyone who comments on it that the original projects is yours.

So if its exact, flag it, otherwise, ask the ST because if you flag a project you can't view it.

Tip of the whatever: Don't post in threads older than 2 weeks unless your post will actually be useful.
It's the last day of 1.4! *cries* (quote from NeilWest, rest by me) by the time you read this it probably will be 2.0  sad

Some person could have just done the same thing because a lot of people make parodies of song (aka Gangam Style, Harlem Shake, etc)

View my projects. Or face The scratch curse! (Get it?)

I know, but he didn't do another project, he just downloaded my project, deleted the source information and uploaded it without changing anything, so no one knew that I was the creator of the project. I know it's hard to understand, but look.

Compare mine
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/HiGh-ElEcTrOnIcS/3166285
with this copy.
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/swagman12n/3174177

But the funny and sad fact is that it's just the copy of the copy of mine. And even the first copy had more views than mine.

I hope you understand me now.



btw. Swagman gave the credits to smoodman not to me.

Thanks for reading!
