Slandering with copyright

There was an open source code to a online game made by a guy named Jamin. A coder named Adam changed 75% of the game and sold copies of it. I bought a copy of it and gave adam credit but also Gave credit to Jamin for the orginal coder and linked his website. On a game voting website, my game was removed for TOS violation for having an illegal game. Jamin is my friend and he said its perfectly ok with him the way I gave him credit. The game voting site doesnt believe me and has me banned from there. There won't look at proof. I am going to hire an attorney to fight them. Do you have any advice for me, and what might be the correct action to take? Normally this wouldnt be a big deal. But About 15 other people said ''That game is illegal? im not playing it because he ripped off the orginal coder''. This is slandering my game and giving it a bad name because of this website. I am 23 years old and can take this in a adult manner. Please advise, thank you for your time.

Re: Slandering with copyright

An attorney letter to the site with the evidence you describe as being available may resolve this, but it will ultimately be the site's right to decide what they want to do, assuming they have a good TOS. Contact me if you want a letter.
