I'm thinking of making something for free distribution, and would be interested to track how many people take copies of it.

Is it possible for when someone takes a copy of an object, a message is sent back to me to tell me a copy has been taken (name of taker not important but useful)?

You could put in a simple script:

CODE

default
{
	changed(integer change)
	{
		if (change && CHANGED_OWNER)
		{
			llInstantMessage(LewissKey, "I just got copied!");
			llDeleteInventory(llScriptName());
		}
	}
}

(the code is rough and the function names not 100% accurate)

I'm not sure if this will produce false positives if someone gets the item and copys it in their inventory prior to rezzing it.
