So don't tell me you can't make money creating things that don't have technical protections. Millions of people do it every day. The vast majority of the public is honest and will pay for the products they use.

A few people will shoplift, a few people will steal phone service, and a few people will pirate all their software. You can't stop it. You just accept it as a cost of doing business and go on with your life. If someone is being particularly egregious such as selling your product in an unauthorized way, then you file a DMCA and/or sue them.
Look no need to get all platitudes on me..

Just explain simply how it would work in Second Life.

You tell me how Suzy Swimsuit seller can manage to sell bikini's without them becoming freely given away all across the grid.

And don't give me that DMCA crap, because LL moves at a Glacial pace on that.

And tell me why again Linden Labs HAS to allow full permissions with normal sales, I missed that part.
