Scratch

I don`t see why this is a problem, if no-one is calling your project a copy?

My project "pizza tycoon" is very similar to the neW mcdonalds feautUred one. It is very unfair. I didn't copy him.

Are you saying that what you did was unfair then arguing with yourself? Please explain because there doesn’t seem to be a problem.

And if you pretty much just changed the idea from McDonald’s to pizza, then I don’t believe it is fair to say it was a copy, (unless you just downloaded it, changed the sprites, and uploaded) but I also don’t believe it is fair to say that the idea is completely yours. This is obviously because of you’re (first of all knowing of the project in the first place) saying it is very similar.

Although it can be frustrating sometimes to the owner of the project with the similar idea, the person should know that legally speaking, only some rights reserved. Those being that of Scratch as a player for the project mostly. So you LEGALLY have every right to download, copy, and say it was yours. I’m not saying you did that, though, I am saying you could. Socially, I can see why you would have a hard time.

Judging by the information given, it seems as though others are calling your project a copy. I believe the solution to this problem is to simply state in the project notes that the idea was inspired by that of the front page.

If I have misinterpreted this entire thing, then please explain with more detail because we all have been perplexed with the description in the first post.

Well no, this took me about a week to do. I am new here, so I'm just figuring out scripts. It bugs me when featured things are very similar to your project when you worked very hard on it and didn't copy. You can download my project and his project, the scripts are not the same.

Copy and paste the words I highlighted in red and put then in the project notes of said project. Problem solved. When your project is called a copy, just tell the person to read the project notes, which they should always read before hand, especially when making an accusation.


EDIT: WOOHOO!!! 1337th POST I FEEL SO LEET NAO!!!!!!!!

That is very sorry, I know how you feel.

In more than one case.

I suggest you continue your Pizza Tycoon and when it gets real good, better than the featured one, I'll submit it to the curator or the featured thread.

Thanks everyone for your support
