I'm all about opensource, I wouldn't post code if I was against it.
Every 'inovation' out there has already its code available, if you search well.
There is absolutelly no need to steal it.

Ok, now to stir a little more. We have established using the code would be wrong. So, assuming the pixel stretch, explosion etc... they have coded is pretty much exactly what you wanted to do how much different would you need to make it? Would acheiving the same effect with different code be sufficient? Does it have to look completley different? For you personally would you need to do some thing completely different because you had seen it done already? just curious

true. i think it would help if more people realized this.

Unfortunatly, we all copy to one degree or another using whatever tool. The software manufacturers make it easier to do things. Hell, I don't have to code preloaders anymore because I could use preloader compnants. One guys figures out how to do a nice motion-blur and someone else will figure out how to do it better.

always write copywrite on your codes.
if they use decompiler to use the same code and you can prove that he used the same code and not two people thought of the same code using same syntax, you can legally challeng it.
now, flash as a program uses compiling to export out swf file which means that by decompiling it, that person is doing reverse engineering which is illegal if they produce the same thing.
you just cant copy write method of using some syntax.
remember there are patents holding up javascript popups.
once it becomes public domain, its hard to make a case and enforce it.
