Recently, I discovered that my survival games map was stolen. It was being advertised as someone elses on a russian website.
My PMC Page:
http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/ ... games-map/
The page that is taking credit for it:
http://ru-minecraft.org/karty-minecraft ... craft.html

I was wondering if it is legally possible to copyright a minecraft map or build. And if so, how would I go about this? I am not too upset about my builds being stolen, but it is still quite rude and dishonest!

If it is legally possible, how would I go about this? I've never had a need to copyright anything.

Theres no definite way to stop people from stealing it but most map creators use "Creative Commons". Its a legit thing and may prevent from people in future stealing your work. All you need to do is that at the end of every build or whatever you make which you don't want copyrighted, put this in saying that it is protected and so.

Heres the image which you post:

I don't think it's possible to copyright a build but maybe you could make the map in a way that it spells your name or something like that.

Forgot to add: I posted on the topic and an administrator added my credit. This was not there before. But, I am still curious?
