Using a program to mechanically copy an item in
SL, bypassing the copy flag, without the owner's permission, is, in fact, illegal in
SL, according to
SL's TOS.
I don't like to be a hardass about all this stuff either, but the idea of using copybot or similar program to copy another's work in
SL without their permission can't possibly be defended, either on TOS grounds or out in the real world in the courts.
However, I will stop with going through the other things you listed.
All I'm saying is, there really isn't any good reason at all to get rid of the copy permissions box! And lots of good reason to keep it.
(And a lot of good reason to make sure it survives transfer to any Linden-approved world, as well.)
