Stop regurgitating the same lines. Actually answer some questions. Your response seems to indicate that any game that is capable of taking money and giving L$ rewards is a violation without being in the proper region. Does this include games that have a "Play for Free, no Prize" mode, and that mode is the primary use?

Textures and prims, and now meshes get dated timestamps on them showing the moment they were uploaded, or rezzed, for prims, the first time. If a creator really has the issue of being copybotted the upload/creation/rezzed timestap should prove who created the item first. Requiring payement info would only reduce the amount of people selling legitimate stuff on sl. In turn reducing the amount of items purchased. As far as inworld stores, they are disappearing. The marketplace is pushed "as the place to buy" in the browser, on dashboard, etc.. So much that many of the inworld stores i use to go to have shut down. They have gone Marketplace only route. It's more affordable than land tier or rent. Linden Labs has done a lot of bonehead policy changes in the last few years. A year and half ago i was spending $500, real us dollars a month, on SL. I'm down to $25 in tier and a quarterly premium, and occasionly maybe $20 in lindens every four or five months. That money saved is being left in savings now so guess i should thank the Lindens for that. Last thing Linden Labs should do is further limit access to any of it's features. I had an inworld shop and a xstreet merchant account that was moved to marketplace when lindens took it over. Then they threatened a listing fee on top of the commision. I pulled my items from the marketplace then. As did a lot of other people. Since they realized enacting that policy was bad news they didn't enforce it. I thought about setting up a new marketplace store a few times since. But I won't bother. I don't trust Linden Labs ability to change policy on a lets try this basis. Requiring payment info to sell, on marketplace, won't stop the true thieves. What it will do is create another exodus. With the exodus goes the money. Hope you enjoy the world you are asking for.
