Possibly rude, but "morally wrong" seems a bit much. I've never seen any player made Graal material being licensed for a fee, so I'm going to assume there's no financial loss.
Please enlighten me as to how this form of piracy may be harmful to the original author. I'm assuming it's bad in at least some way since it would be silly to label it "wrong" if it wasn't.

Being recognized as the writer of the script doesn't seem like a great enough thing to get upset about when you're deprived of it. Besides, there's a simple cure for that: post it in the Code Gallery. If credit is what you want, there is no better way than making it public.
Requiring people to ask for permission every time they want to use a script seems kind of unmotivated though, unless one is a megalomaniac.

Also, the people at Graal Ghetto might be more cooperative if you stop calling them thieves. It's hardly an accurate term anyway.

It's against Graal rules, therefore wrong. It doesn't matter how it harms the author, because it's wrong. If I don't give permission to someone to use my stuff, then I don't want to see them using it.

But... I'll comment on your 'harmful' bit. It's harmful because Graal development is a very competitive field. People may not agree with it being competitive, but it is. Everyone wants to make a better server than the next. With servers like Utopia and Graal Ghetto... which have very similar builds, stealing makes it easier for the other server to get the upper hand. If they want to copy, then fine, no one can stop them and if they're putting in the effort then I won't object.

I can go on, but really, until you're a developer(are you?), and you put hard work into your work, you won't really understand what's so wrong with someone stealing your work.

It's morally wrong in the sense that they're stealing credit for something they couldn't do on their own

You shouldn't assume; I called no one a thief (at least, until after they banned me, and even then I don't recall).

Words, words, words.

Of course; some of the staff members were horrible (uploading porn and displaying it in the town x_x -- I fired six people that day). There were also of course staff who just abused powers.

Nice to know, considering I was the youngest staff, though I doubt you actually think that. However, thanks.

Ah what a day. ^^

Anyway, I made a support ticket about them about a week ago. They obviously didn't comply. Shouldn't they be shut down?

Yes, credits. Serious business
