Olympic Web Site Features Pirated Content

Posted by kdawson on from the do-as-I-say dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Despite all the emphasis on protecting Olympic copyrights in China this year, the official web site of the Beijing Olympics features a Flash game that is a blatant copy of one of the games developed at The Pencil Farm. Compare the game on the Olympic site with 'Snow Day' at The Pencil Farm."

    These are Summer Olympics, that game is called "Snow Day". How could it be a copy?

    Knockoffs from China... What next? Lies from the WhiteHouse?

    The funny thing is that the chinese source code looks cleaner than the original. If I had to choose a company by looking at those two samples I'd probably go for outsourcing in china.

    Smells like trouble for the US job market :)

    Quantum, I think you forgot to log out and post anonymously before trolling, or perhaps you have some sort of split personality. Please explain what you're talking about.
