Re: Someone copied my project
I hate those thieving losers. I had a similar problem with one awhile back. My "Space War 2" was stolen.
First you should try to convince the copier to delete it. Then flag it, and send a message to the Scratch Team that you want to delete it.
Hope this helps!

Re: Someone copied my project
Is it a complete copy, or just a similar game based on it?
Remember the Scratch slogan is 'Imagine, Program, SHARE' so its not exactly against the rules to develop another user's project. Having said that, if the guy's taken your work and simply re-uploaded it onto his account without giving credit, then you may have a case.
It would be helpful if you included links to the projects in question (both yours and the guy who copied you), so the Scratch team can take a look at it and make a decision.

The guy did not change one thing at all just so you

Re: Someone copied my project
Hi News-guy, sorry to hear about the copy incident. However, it is not a very good idea to publicly report projects or galleries in the forums. When you come across a project that violates the Terms of Use, please use the 'flag as inappropriate' link and remeber to state the reason why you flagged the project. Thanks, and Scratch On!
