Texture Theft question

I was wondering what LL policy is on texture theft. I know atm LL requires that we have a registered copywrite to prove we made the texture in question, but what if there was another way. Like if designers developed a way to watermark our work would LL take that as proof of theft and stop the resale? like if both the original texture we submit and the one taken from the persons account both have the watermark with the creators name in it, would that be enough?

Hi John, there are many previous Q&A on this in SL Answers. For a quick summary of the broader issue of intellectual property violations here, please see:
