Fair enough, but look at all the duplicates out there for that piano keys game or...pretty much everything. My question was supposed to geared more towards functionality. What advantage do you have making something in html5 when it's easily stolen. How do you prove it was yours first? I believe I read a blog post on HN about a guy who was cloned like this before he made it into the play store and google banned him instead of the copycat.

I think google cache can show that you created the website with the game first, then create a text file or something on the server that the support could access to show that you actually operate the site. If the other developer that has stolen the code can't provide a proof then it's fairly easy for the support to decide. The problem is of course that you need sane support for this to work.
