The fact is that by adding cheats you are sharing this knowledge with other users of our site, helping to make UKcheats.com more comprehensive. Although more creativity does go into writing your own review, whether you are reviewing a game or adding a batch of cheats you are making more information available for other users, therefore making the site a more enjoyable place for gamers to visit. That's why you are eligable to win a prize.

Dosn't that fall into certain laws to do with copyright infringement. If SR could contact the original writer of the reviews then they could indeed sue for the money they lost (they have got his address) as Im sure most of you wouldn't want something you worked hard on to be "stolen" and used by someone else to give them an easy win.. Let this be a warning for those who do it and so far havn't been found out.

I think you are forgetting this guy has like stolen from Special Reserve. Special Reserve gave him games on the terms that he wrote the reviews. Therefore it's sort of like they are giving him games/films for what he's done.
So technically he's been stealing from Special Reserve and he should be prosecuted. I'm sure SR can find some way to do so. :)

You think that "most people copy reviews"? I'd disagree with that - if the problem is anywhere, the reviews that win aren't really any good.
Besides, what's to stop journalists and would-be journalists writing material that can be equal to a professional standard.
Everything I've put on here is original, and, while I am sure that there are some people who copy things, I'd say that a majority is original.
OK, I'm going to stop babbling, no-one really cares what I think (I'm only an insignificant Pig), so I'll shut up.
See Ya ;-)

P.s. Dan, I'm intrigued. Am I someone who is "known"? Or do you have to write 50000+ posts for that honour? ;-)
Ah well
See Ya

Exactly... but this is exactly why I posted about cheats... because why should a cheat that can be copied win a game over, say, an original review that has taken time. There is no problem with copying cheats... after all, a majority of them come from game developers anyway... but to win a game from this?

Ie is totally unfair for us people who take time in typing our own reviews. I'm shocked in AK!

Well said Loki!
And what would UKcheats.com be like if you removed every copied cheat?
Nearly empty methinks!
