Sugar in general is. So you might want to remove that evil donation Coca Cola advertisement and people actually might donate more to you.

Put a secret function within the flash that grabs their domain information and have it send to your database and a page that displays all thief sites. Step 2. Put copyright / owner information pertaining to your game or movie where it cannot be overlooked by viewers. Step 3. Put your flash on the web. Step 4. Use the web info to report their site for theft of copyrighted materials to their domain host. This may not work immediately if the host "doesn't care", but I'm sure with proper legalese and talk of "getting lawyers involved" they'll pull the site and/or warn the client. I contacted my own host (godaddy) on this issue and they conferred that they would pull the thief site until they remove the copyrighted materials. Step 1.

The "window.location" is the right idea there, BUT you have to use: window.top.location because window.top refers to the "most top" window, e.g. if your allowed domain is "allowed.com" and the evil domain "evil.com" just puts an iFrame on their site that contains the page from "allowed.com" with the game, window.location will say "allowed.com", but window.top.location will reveal "evil.com". - Dennis Hi there,
