A solution at last to copyright theft in SL?

Hi Folks..

Been thinking about the whole copyright theft issue for a while - people stealing others work and reselling it -

I've posted a possible solution to the problem on my blog at http://neilrobinson.wordpress.com/ - I'd love to get your feedback! Have a read, post a comment, tell me what you think.

Thanks for reading,

Neil

Your assumption is that it is only free accounts with anonymous users who steal content, which is wrong. It is also easy to play a shell game with money, a determined user will have an alt for making real money, say by 99% commission, selling a free account's goods via vendor. There are too many holes. Way too complicated and won't solve anything.

A tip: write a long blog post (well make it shorter, but even so) like an essay: state your thesis within the first couple of lines, don't spend three long paragraphs getting to it, you will lose readers.

Right, but when the 99% percentage thing is uncovered, the person getting the 99% still has to have a verified account to get the money out - RL info - Altmapping via IP address would easily show who was who. Technology to do that already exists and is in use.
