Stolen Projects!!!

Some people have just copied my project (That tuck me weeks to make!!) And just changed the pictures but got all the comments.

I think it's sick to take someone's hard work and just change one little thing, that takes just 5 secons, and pass it off as their own.

Please Help!  hmm

Re: Stolen Projects!!!

N-Wear: projects are never stolen because you always can always have a copy of your projects on your computer :-)

When you click on the button to put your project on-line it says "Share!", it doesn't say "Upload".

I agree that downloading someone else's project and re-uploading it is not the best but for many it's a way of testing and learning from others. Plus most likely the project the other person uploaded says "Based on N-Wear project", giving you the credit you deserve.

Re: Stolen Projects!!!

just think of it this way: your project was so good, that someone wanted to copy it!
