Hi, basically, to answer "yes" to your question #1, ALL of the following must be true:
- The grid must be owned and operated by a single entity - Said entity must have a TOS, statement and/or track record of respecting content creators' rights - No outside regions can connect - No outside persons can access the shell or database of the grid It would be up to you to determine whether you trust the operator of the grid. Currently a few such grids exist. Generally, if a grid allows outside connections or Hypergridding, it is not safe. However, hypergrid is moving towards a safe way to distribute content from authenticating asset/inventory servers. Eventually this may lead to signed binary assemblies being passed around the simulators, with the region operators trusting the certificates. However, this will likely not prevent retention of copies of the goods, so the above points about trusting the operators still apply. Even though your script source code can't be stolen in this future scenario, permissions as we know them today could easily be circumvented.
