however y'all may want to look at some of the last comments on the Jira

The latest method of theft is not a texture grabber, not a copybot tool, but a process which intercepts the data-stream direct from the asset LL servers, I guess we can thank open-source for that. That data-steam is then 'injected' back into the asset server under a new owners name.
So no longer do creators and businesses have to only worry about texture and prim/sculptie theft, they now steal the ENTIRE OBJECT - including all scripts - ie. Fully working. Already, hundreds of high-value items have been stolen this way.
Even worse : the creator name is NOT replaced using this technique ... so its not a way to ID the stolen goods - so it looks just like a legitimately bough item, and works like it too.
So the thousands of creators who have been relaxed about content theft "as it didn't really apply to them" (their assets being more in the scripts) ... can start joining the crowds now. Your items with precious scripts are also now being stolen.
It's totally out of control.

unsure if that is the same thing.

"Well, then," the Cat went on, "you see, a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad."
"I call it purring, not growling," said Alice.
"Call it what you like," said the Cat.
