Object giving self

I've got a little toy (that is an attachment), that I would love to have be able to give a copy of itself to anyone who touches it (this is partially a way to avoid having to give out the copies myself by hand to each individual, and let them choose if they want to have it). Placing a copy of itself inside works fine for first generation- but then, of course, that one doesn't have the contents to give. I'm currently nesting it until I get too bored and give up- but that still means in x generations it won't work (and also means I'm going to be kicking myself if I decide there's some detail I want to change, since I'll have to delete the contents copy and nest all over again).

As far as I understand, there is no way to actually give _itself_ due to potential for abuse, but am I missing something obvious that would let it be able to give out copies of "itself" infinitely?

You can have a server that contains the item and then when someone touches the item it will send the request to the server along with who to send it to. Many items works this way already.

instead of immediatly giving itself to the new user, have it rez a copy, then give it's contents to the copy, THEN the copy either gives to the user (and dies) or is set to some variation of buy-original, allow anyone to copy, etc.... I think that would work...might need up to 2 levels of nesting with the auto give, 1 level with the others
