They took a couple of my games w/o permission.
But at that time, I just wanted the publicity, so I didn't really care and didn't email them about it.
Yes. It's entirely true that every single thing on Ebaums is stolen from other sites without credit. It's also true that they ignore any request from authors to remove stolen content.
What jerks, I say let them be attacked by fat hungy pigs and eating by there piglets...
Muwahahahaha
Kill them!!
just in case there is anyone left in the world who hasnt seen this yet :

how come you guys don't complain to his hosting service? seemed to work quite well for webgeek when he did it
This company hosts them, if you wanna email them: http://www.techiemedia.com/legal.html
Well, it's not like he can edit your .swf and put that crappy watermark over the stuff that gives your site credit. (and who makes a game worth anything without putting their name or a link to their site on it?)
Man, I really think that guy is a total jerk.
Hope someone stops him.
Yes, yes he can edit your swf thats the problem einstein.Quote:

If only...
Well damn! I want to know how to do that. Do you have a link to the program he uses? (I won't have to wait for open-source versions of things anymore!)Quote:

EDC ( Real name ? ), you're openly asking for software so you can ( And giving you the total benefit of the doubt ) just look at other peoples code.
Kinda wrong and not the most tactful in a forum where protecting code is one of the holy grails.
Squize.
Yeah... Sorry about that. Guess I need to make myself more well known before I start spouting sarcastic remarks like that. (I just didn't think anyone had come up with a way to hack .swf's already. I still don't belive it.)Quote:

I already emailed them already but i recon they deserve to be kicked of the net.(preferably permanantly)
Eric Bauman stole one of my games, too. If it was a good one, I'd take action, but since it isn't...
they'll get what's coming to them, a massive law suit.
hmm any actionscript that can prevent this?
Wait for Flash 9 for preventions.
