I guess the part that stumps me is the detection. If an honest merchant has to buy a copy of a suspect item to examine it closely and determine if it has stolen components, how does the merchant recover the costs of all that detection work? Costs in time, money and lost sales. My feeling on this is that every honest merchant should, if asked, provide the documentation to show he/she actually created the item. Show screencaps of some of the steps in Photoshop to create a texture, show screencaps of some of the steps in a 3D app to create the morph. Then if we go to a merchant and he refuses to provide any documentation, we don't buy the item. So it would be the merchants policing themselves, and we would quickly know whom we could trust.
