was wondering lately i've seen designs that look very similiar to other designs so i was wondering, what is the best thing to do when you catch someone stealing your material/ideas/codes/designs or structures for their own uses or sites?
what if they are using your stuff but credit you? what if they are using your stuff and alter the credits? what if they are using your stuff and remove the credits? **normally i email them or comment on the site and tell them to take it off or i'll talk to their hosting services xD that's the best i got, and if their ashamed of what they did, they put the credits up or completely change everything before next sunrise. some are rude enough to slander & object the claim when clearly the material is stolen. |

The author doesn't have to even put copyright on their work. As of April 1, 1989, it just is. Yeah, but this is small time stuff. Do you really mean to tell me that you've never copied and pasted potions of someone's code into your own designs. Give me a break. It's part of the learning process. oh, LOL. sorry Josh. Who did "invent" the codes? Yes, I am talking about people in general. |

It's part of the learning process. Yes, I am talking about people in general. Yes. After learning a bit on my own from resource sites; then helping dozens of people with their codes is how I learned. But I hardly see why you quoted my post when I was only pointing out a technicality. |
