A better way to prevent project copying, without preventing remixes

I would rather have it so you have an ability to turn of remixing for your project, and it would just prevent the ability for remixers to share the remixed project. I believe this would be fair

That's been rejected in the sticky.

A better way to prevent project copying, without preventing remixes

I often remix a project for something in it, such as a sprite, or an idea. That way I can look for it easily. Maybe you can't share until something has been changed, instead of changing something before remixing.

Semi-support. As per above, there are many faults with this system. If all can be worked out, then you have my full support

Yes, I know this is a bump on an old topic, but it is not a necropost because it is still useful.

A better way to prevent project copying, without preventing remixes

Off of what you're all saying, I think I know of a way to fix this once and for all:

Say you create a simple platformer (BOUNCE for an example). Create an introduction and descriptive project (TRAILER) that explains the project. THEN have others get a download link from the page separately, in which you make them sign a creative commons limitation agreement. If they sign it, download the file, and put it on Scratch with very little - no changes made to it, then you can present the document and prove you are the original creator, and you may even be able to legally force them to remove it from the website.

Semi-support for this, it can't be perfectly implemented.

That's a bit too complex for most Scratchers and there's no need to push it to legal limits.

That project is not shared. Please, remember to contribute with shared projects, not unshared ones.

Support! I once got reported for “copying” when it wasn't a copy!

Just check inside, compare the code, if it's pretty much the same, report.

Absolutely no support. I don't want that stupid pop-up every time I remix a project only because some idiot can't follow the rules.

Make it so that when you remix it, at least some of the code has to be changed from the original project before scratch allows you you to share the remixed project.

Code or assets. The ST already said that recolors are valid remixes, so they should be allowed.

Support! Somebody (not naming and shaming ) copied my game Life which I spent hours working on and did not give any credit, and then it got on trending. Maybe instead of this just a permanant note in the notes and credits of who contributed to it? For example: "Parts of this project are from a project by {username and link} called {project name and link}. Please not that it is against the community guidelines to copy one's work or use it without credit. The data about where the assets, etc. came from would be inside the project.json file stored in the .sb3 file.
