@Galois1, quit insulting everyone.. it makes it REALLY hard for me to be sympathetic. Your not the first person on the internet to have something stolen. Be happy it wasn't something important like your identity.
now can you answer this? Why is your map no longer on Battle.net? I'm finding that REALLY strange that HIS is up there but yours is gone.. Only the bootleg comes up when you search. did you take it down?
I'm not saying you didn't make the map, I'm very curious as to why HIS somehow magically REPLACED yours on the list.. Practically in the same spot and everything.. Doesn't that seem a little like an exploit? Am I missing something here??
There are a few things I find peculiar about this incident..
1. There is only one Turret Defense 2010 sc2 release edition on Battle.net posted by nethao. If it had in fact been stolen would there not be two separate entities? But they don't show up
2. With the current publishing and custom system.. how does a copycat duplicate the success of the original? Shouldn't the copycats video be among the masses of unpopular maps? When a map is super popular, (in this case in the top 12) In my understanding its kind of impossible for some content stealer to outmatch the original video.
Compare it to youtube.. There are tons of David after Dentist clone Videos but no one could possibly steal the OP's fame because its stuck at the top... Now, If an unknown video is copied and then goes viral without credible links to the OP its completely possible and happens all the time..
Kinda makes me think something else happened here. Possibly a glitch in the system or an exploit?
