Reminds me of Roger Penrose and toilet paper plagiarism: http://web.archive.org/web/20050312084035/http://www.parasco...

Please do unto them what they would have done unto you. Not only do you stand to make some money but you'll be helping correct a bad behavior.

Heh,that poor miserable employee who probably thought nothing of copying a cool maze off the Internet.(Not to imply that makes it any less illegal)

That's certainly got to be interesting/validating for the op though (albeit simultaneously violating/annoying).

Definitely curious to hear how Kraft responds; if op is willing to share even more about something he shouldn't have had to deal with in the first place that is.

You can save yourself the trouble of finding out the address of their lawyers by simply putting a Kraft and/or Spongebob logo on your website... They'll come to you quick smart!

Ah yes, the silver rule.

Hypothetical question: is it possible that they did not copy it? The author here indicates that the original maze was generated by software, maybe Kraft stumbled upon the same algorithm, or a close variation of it (considering the minor differences between the two)?

Obviously, this is very out-of-left-field and I don't believe it either, but it's not impossible that Kraft didn't plagiarise anything.
