I've seen several stolen items. Skins seems to be a big one from the dev's i regularly shop and I see them stolen ALOT i check to make sure that it's not a derivation and such but there genuinely stolen. I would propose to have the option to enter in stolen product and have a box to put in the real Dev's name. Might save imvu alot of time and the devs too as reporting link after link after link to the developer could tie up there time a bit in having to constantly have to report the stolen goods themselves.

Which will achieve nothing since IMVU has to abide by the DMCA process which requires that the original creator be the one to file any such report by law.

If the product is a zero change derive then it is allowed by IMVU because the original dev gets paid.
If it is a stolen texture, only the copyright holder can file a complaint of copyright theft.
