    Since as JH don't have a copyright on BuildIt, it's not plagiarism, so it's okay. If they somehow put a copyright(JH) then someone's going to have to notify thrm

    Plagiarism is the copying of something in writing form and not giving your source credit. This doesn't require credit to be given. And it may be a rip off, however, its under a different name, so its fine (sadly).

    That's basically saying whoever has spleef copied the original creator or survival games

    It can't really be plagerism, because they made their own plugin, so it's fair.

    I agree with homieboy. Sky obviously got the idea from J&H because he played build it on a video. I personally think they should be proud of this because more and more people can put this on their servers and that would make J&H the creators of a very popular minigame like the owner of spleef. But I do think it was rude of Adam to say he thought of it himself.

    I say half and half.
    One half because they did take the idea from J&H
    The other half J&H have no trademark, copyright, etc. on build it :/

    Add on: If you watch the video, it's basically saying they invented that game, it was all their idea.
