Copying

Too many people copy other people's projects, by downloading them and posting them, and not giving credit. I've even seen a direct copy of a project get more views than the original!

Anyway, my projects often get remixes with barely any changes and no credit, what's the best thing for me to do? Thanks.  smile

Re: Copying

First, be proud- your project is good enough that people think "HEY! DIS IZ GUD! I COULD COPIEZ DIS AND GETZ LOTS OF V13WS! YAY!"

Second, just comment on the project asking if any changes were made, and if the person doesn't respond, or says that no changes were made, just flag the project with the flag description saying something simple like "Blatant copy".  smile
