Thank you Brian and the rest of the Envato staff for handling this matter, its great to know someone’s out there looking out for us. Your immediate reaction is highly appreciated.

Since this thread had started, the project we’re talking about sold over 7 copies (have to keep the exact number hidden to avoid pointing fingers) Funny thing is, he even copied the same grammar mistakes (“he haven’t heard about…”) which makes it obvious Lets ask ourselves this question: Should this be encouraging to new authors? is this the message we want to receive? that if we come up with something original and someone copies our script word by word it will be approved by staff and start selling?

Ok, each one is allowed to think the way they want to, excuse me for trying to impose a personal opinion.

There are many copies in this world which was made much better than the originals.

Really? care to share some with me? It’s just like saying you can imitate a person better than himself which is a paradox.

Once its a copy, a rip off, a replica – it’s impossible to be better than the source, of course you can exaggerate the source, and add another flavor to the mix – but then you’re already creating something new which makes it somehow original.

originality is unbeaten cyzer, you being the original skilled author you are should know it better than anyone

I have optical 100mbit connection, but almost always have problems with VH previews(slow buffer loading)

Thank you so much for saying that, started to feel like the only nut job around this place! good to know we’re together on this.

then it must be a server issue, for some reason youtube or vimeo videos stream way faster for me… Thank you for your input.

Wow that’s like regular 20 sales in a row! congrats!

There are plenty of similiar ones that are obviously inspired, but theres one particular version that copied the dialogue itself and used the exact sentences he used in his preview as a sales pitch

and… back to the original topic.. Say-else? Sails away? Navy Sales? Seylles’De’Fromage (totally made this one up) ... Go ahead, your turn.

These projects re-initiate the mystery of the pricing system for me, if Envato says the pricing is based on complexity, how for the love of god could you price a ripoff higher than the original? What’s complex in copying someone’s idea? It’s just like selling a rolex replica higher than an original rolex .

That’s all, totally feeling you on this one jakubvejmola.
