Holiday Jigsaw Halloween

Holiday Jigsaw Halloween is a basic browser/Flash/mobile-app like jigsaw puzzle game. Solve various jigsaw puzzles made up from images that the "developer" stole off the Internet and used without crediting the actual creators, making this plagiarism, as well as an asset flip and a cash grab. An example of the "borrowed" uncredited/plagiarised artwork is [url=https://steventyler.wordpress.com/2011/11/14/fall-photo-shoot-2/#jp-carousel-1127]"Yorkie at Large"[/url], stolen and used without any apparent permissions or rights from the photographer, Steven Tyler. Sure, the image rights may allow some stock images to be used without credit (although there's no reason to believe so in this case), and claiming credit for the work of others, as is happening here, is unethical, and the creative and intellectual bankruptcy going on here is unacceptable.

Considering Halloween started as a harvest festival of Samhain, a lot of the photos are technically correct, and a quite a few even have Halloween imagery.

It's kind of a let down as the Easter collection was spot on, and matched all my childhood memories, so the celebrations must be pretty universal. But something was lost in translation here. Some of the photos are worth the .49 cents USD to me, but it must be a cultural thing with the grey cat and peppy upbeat music. Worth it on sale if you like what you see, just don't expect this collection to make as much sense as usual. And I apologize if people from different parts of the world indeed celebrate just lik…
