Your answer to everyone who is concerned about non-legitimate copying has always been "report it," "DMCA."

The problem is this: how would we know when our creations are being copied? Well, I guess you expect us to travel over the whole of SL, looking for copies. SL is a pretty big place now. Also, there are sims that I have no access to, so I can't go into them to check. That would be pretty time consuming, don't you think? There would not be much time left over for anything fun if I that, would there? Not much time for building or running a business, either.

I build things that can be easily copied with only minimum skills. You don't need a bot to do it. I understand that. But, if you want people like me to stay in SL and provide nice content for your customers who can't build or don't want to, you need to suggest something better than "spend every waking moment running around SL looking for copies of my work," which is essentially what you are saying when you tell me to DMCA, or report infringements.

BTW, along with my content, I also provide parrot island--a nice 16 acre recreational area that a lot of people enjoy. If I leave it goes with me. :p
