The amazing thing to me is that the people stealing the sound effects didn’t even bother to scrape them. On a purely practical level, surely programmers would avoid relying on resources that might disappear without notice.
I worked at a conference company during the dot com boom, and someone ripped off one of our events. They stole all the copy, and hotlinked the graphics. The boss did try to do something about it involving lawyers, but I replaced all the graphics with ones that said “stolen”. I don’t know how it all shook out, because 9/11 was the end of the massive travel and conference budgets that made that business viable.
In retrospect Goatse would have been funnier, but I was awful timid back then.
Sure, sure. That’s one way to handle it. I would probably put up a page that says “this site was stealing my game so I’ve put up this redirect instead. Click here to go to my site!” But that’s just me, maybe…

I remember my smart friend in college had his TV in front of a window with a camcorder hooked up on a long lead, he showed me how to make fractals by zooming in and out on the corner of the tv with part of the window in the frame. video feedback. yours is… slightly more advanced.
