Anyone that wants to copy will copy and they go to SL to do it because SL is where all content is.
A grid being closed or not closed HG. does not matter. SL is closed commercial grid and guess what? All copy botted items came from there when aviworlds was online.
Now the subject of buying an object in a grid and then going to another grid to start an illegal spread of that item is something else. One thing I always said was that if the grid has its own currency then people who is visiting through HG travel system will not be able to buy anything because he or she needs to be a registered user of that grid in order to be able to purchase anything that is for sale that is not free.
That is a safety strategy that I used to have in aviworlds. But it is not 100% secure. If someone really likes something and wants it; he or she will register in the that grid and purchase it or even ask a friend to purchase for him or her and then take it to the other grid. But if the grid offers the new EXPORT or not feature then I think case is closed.
The alternative would be straight copy botting and that is something not even SL has stopped. I m sorry to say this but aviworlds has 10 regions subdivided by 4096sqm lots each region. All these regions were FULL OF COPY BOTTED items.
We tried combatting this problem and people LEFT. People would not purchase or make their own. They all preffered to copy bot their items that they had already bought in SL. and that is another proplem. A person spent 300 dollars building their inventory in SL do you think he or she will spend another 300 in an open sim grid? I dont think so.
My two cents...
