Ok.. I have an idea.. not sure how possible this is.. so this is a long shot.... I know in SL you can create a script that gets the persons UUID. That ID in turn can be used in conjunction with your items and in SL it is what safe guards your inventory to a small degree. It also shows who the creator and owner is. Now these guys who upload the content, they get it and attempt to upload to OSG for example. Now what if on the website OSG had a way to create the user with the UUID from SL, IF they are using a name from SL. In turn the UUID would store that users UUID in the "new" database that would be the same one from SL. Now.. for the sake of argument, there would be a check mark you as a newbie can click to show your using a name from SL. Now if that person who did not check mark that cannot upload content already made. ( accept textures and sounds which there is NO WAY to safeguard against. But all other content will have been made from a grid other then OSG can show this. If the content from OSG is made then another type of perms is set so that you must have a UUID attached on each file if you want to re-upload it.. <div>

Sadly like so many schemes that only works until some crook fakes the "do<br>
not copy flag" or something similar.<br>
<br>
Even something which is a "closely held" as the IPod has similar problems. I<br>
did a search for Ipod apps on Pirate Bay the other day.<br>
<br>
They are always a good check of what works and what doesn't!<br>
<br>
I found more than 1000 items, including all kinds of MP3s, software, and<br>
"hacks"!<br>
<br>
Many many very competent people have worked on Digital Rights Management<br>
(DRM), but as far as I know there has never been any solution worth the<br>
trouble and hassle involved!<br>
<br>
That doesn't stop the snake oil salesman from claiming to have "the<br>
ultimate" solution of course.We are seeing that on Second Life right now.<br>

I agree to a point. I tend to think in terms if asked "What have i done as a<br>
grid oper. to help stop the spread of stolen content?" I have nothing to<br>
show them sadly and thats scary as hell to me!<br>
If as a grid op i can at least show a good faith attemp at prevention and<br>
away to track it quickly to the user that broght it in. Id feel alot better<br>
and prob. the users would be alot happyer knowing it too.<br>
<br>
Something at this point is better than nothing i think.<br>
