Hundreds of Flash games stolen

Ever made a Flash-game? Chances are that they've been stolen by a network of sites in France where they even take full credit for other peoples work!

Stealing Flash games is easy, but nobody has ever done that at such a scale. The thief has stolen several hundred games from multiple sites hosting Flash games. Some are stolen from big sites as Cartoon Network, Warner Bros and Clevermedia. CleverMedia has posted the full story on this and how you can help. The games are posted on several mirrored sites:

http://www.flash-game.net
http://www.flash-games.net
http://www.flashparadise.com
and http://www.t45ol.com

CleverMedia has discovered that these sites have messageboards that can be flooded by posting messages stating that they use stolen games. If you have 5 minutes, get on those boards and tell them what the Flash community thinks about stealing other people's property!
