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."

    found it still contains the sound files from Snow Day, even though they aren't being used in the Olympic version

    If they did decompile and recompile it then hurrah for the Chinese - they removed the music! Yes, there's a mute button, but I still hate any Flash games that insist on playing music.
