Finding a copyhacked level has been made easy in 2.1, but indentifying one is definetly harder than that, especially with a description convincing enough to look professional. It is pretty hard to find copyhacked levels, so here are 3 things to think about while trying to indentify one.
1. Level ID
If you find a level you think is suspicious, then check the comment section for an ID that the comment claims it was stolen from. If you already found a clone of a level, check the IDs of the 2 levels. The one with the lower ID is almost always the original. You can also check the 2 IDs from the comment section you found the ID of the supposedly original level, and whichever ID is lower is, like I said, almost always the original. If you can't find a clone anywhere, then it is probably not stolen. Check 3 for more things you can do after this.
2. Likes
This one is better for finding copyhacked levels rather than identifying. With the current trend of likebot use and abuse, it's not hard to find a pretty bad level in trending. Though sometimes you can find good levels in trending that is likebotted. Levels like these tend to be stolen. If you have the ID of the stolen level from the comment section or somewhere else, then you likely just found a stolen level.
3. YouTube channel and logos
This last one is probably the one that could be most misunderstood, so read carefully. If you do the steps in 1 but manage to find nothing, check if they have a YouTube channel. Copyhackers tend not to have YouTube channels as they can't upload level previews at all. After that, check their levels for any logos. If there are no logos, then the chances of the level being stolen are higher, though not certain. It would be good to look at levels with the same song if the song is barely even used at all after checking for YT channels and logos. Note: Not every creator without a logo or YouTube is a copyhacker.
What do you think about this guide? Is there anything I could improve on for this?
Either way, I hope you enjoyed this guide, and maybe learned how to find those pesky copyhackers.
