Finally someone with a brain when it comes to things... *S* I will only add this to your post Elric... Get to know the merchandise you are commonly searching / shopping for. Even if you don't buy from a particular merchant who makes product such as RP goods, because you like another better, take the time to familiarize yourself with the different styles used by the other merchants. Then when your out exploring and wandering, you will be more prone to recognize their work, and the work of your prefered merchants. If you spot something suspect, take the moment to notecard it or IM it to the merchant, so they can take a moment and check and see if it is stolen content, and deal with it appropriately... LL isn't there to police things for us... That's our job. LL's job is to act once we, as content creators are sure the content is stolen / illegally copied and determine if the burden of proof needed for filing a DMCA take down request is met or not, since it has to be the content creator or their legal representative that files the take down request.
