Framework for extending plagiarism detection in virtual worlds

The economies of virtual worlds are driven by the exchange of virtual good and services. These goods are available in the form of image textures, 3D objects, and scripts. The theft or unauthorized use of these goods was and still is a serious problem for virtual world users and content providers. In our work we try to point out various aspects of IPR violations in virtual worlds and suggest a platform for detection inspired by plagiarism detection services in real world.
