: I'm developing a game for web browsers that people : will be able to download or actually play over the : Internet. I'm planning on making the game free for : anyone. I want to protect the game so that someone : just couldn't download the game and change a few things : to call it their own creation. The game uses a cutting : edge technology and it'll be the first of its kind. : I want my name associated with the game only. Am I : automatically protected legally if someone does make a : copy of the game and claims that it's their own? Am : I overlooking anything else here?
