I'm sure we're all sick of seeing copied ads, stolen games, etc. by now, and it's even worse when you see your own work being used without your permission. I would know because I've seen logos that I've made being stolen, uniforms I've made being stolen, and what can I do about it? Ask for credit. That's not really satisfying when the person using your material doesn't deserve it.
The obvious solution to this is for everyone to use watermarks, but watermarks on a uniform? On a logo? Kind of looks ridiculous. So why can't we institute Plagiarism Bans? This would be based on how often you are found Plagiarizing. If you've done it once or twice, a 1-Day/3-Day Ban seems fair enough, but if it becomes excessive, I think a punishment ought to be given.
So whenever someone plagiarizes, you can report them. In the Report tab there could be a Plagiarism option, and in the comment box, you need to PROVE that the work has been plagiarized. If you are banned for plagiarism, and you didn't plagiarize, that's what the appeal system is for. |

Piracy is a very difficult thing to moderate.
The entire music industry has tried and failed, and they have infinitely more resources than roblox. |

Using creation dates, for example, seeing you've given that example, only shows when the first version of the place was made. And you can reset and revert versions. |

@frozengia
As a musician myself, I can definitely tell you plagiarism is impossible to moderate. But things that are OBVIOUSLY copied, yeah, that should be banned. |

Well, if it's obvious plagiarism, you don't really need much proof.
Everyone knows the original creator of Welcome to the Town of ROBLOXia, but ROBLOX won't do anything about all the stolen versions. |

| The issue with places is, as of right now, 0 way to tell if a place has ever been uncopylocked, even for just a minute or two, and that is all it would take to grab a copy of a place and share it around. |

I see what you mean.
Although, if someone is sharing their place, why report someone for stealing it?

I have an idea about plagarism with advertisement.
When uploading a ad the game checks through all ads of that type (e.g. landscape, potrait whatever they are called) and then goes through the database to check if the images data matches.
If it matches then delete it. |

Pico, the problem with that is, even a slight adjustment would render the two images not the same.
But still... if ROBLOX were to keep track of when advertisements were made, we could be able to prove which one was real and which was plagiarized. |

| Roblox could make a drm service for games or maybe use a neural network to detect if games are copied. |
