I'm New!

I've been doing scratch for about 2 days. I'm really good at games, but I'm afraid people will steal my scripts and stuff. How can I make it so they can't borrow/steal it?

Re: I'm New!

Welcome to Scratch, Cloakedyoshi  smile .

Their currently isn't, and never will be a way to prevent Sprite/Scripts etc: from being downloaded as it goes against what part of Scratch is about. When you upload your project to the site, you are instantly giving every other Scratcher permission to use a part of your project to make a new project/change things around. This isn't stealing, it's 'Remixing' which leads to newer Scratcher being able to learn more or being able to create more projects.. And if someone remixes your project, they obviously liked some of your work.  wink .

The only time remixing is reportable is if your work IS stolen - as in literally stolen - as in a Scratcher just downloaded and re-uploaded your project and changed nothing at all. If this happens you can flag the project or report the user using the Contact Us link at the bottom of any page on Scratch.

Andresmh also made a good post summarising remixing heresmile

Re: I'm New!

whats wrong with using your scripts?
it means you're teaching people stuff
you should be proud if someone uses scripts you made
scratch is an education tool or something, anyway. people are allowed to use your scripts

Re: I'm New!

don't worry
your scripts aren't actually that advanced but if you want people to not copy your stuff just go here
clicky
and no one will be able to copy you

Re: I'm New!

Can they export my sprites and scripts somewhere else and I don't get credit?

yes but that is frowned upon in scratch.they most likely will give you credit in the project notes

I'll upload tiny games. None of the stuff I'm going to use as a business later.

Sadly, that is true, and they are not shown as "remixes". DOn't worry, though. If you see someone who has the EXACT same project as yours, you can flag them; however, flagging is only imposed on specific areas, see more info here: http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=1081

Hope this helps!

Kaj was an user a few years back. There were rumors that he hacked into people's accounts, but it was obviously not true and the Scratch Team couldn't find any evidence. He got banned from Scratch, but you don't need to worry about KAJ.  wink
