A small 'trademark' question

[arreyazat]

Hey,

just a question, is it possible to 'copyright' (don't know the correct word exactly) a Plugin, basically so no other server could use it (if they do, they can be sewed) etc?
If so, how could this be?

You couldn't trademark a plugin, that is used to protect phrases or graphics. To copyright it, you would license it, probably All Rights Reserved. If you don't want any other servers to use it, don't let them access it, not sure what's wrong with that.
Take a good look at this exceptional guide to learn more about licensing: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html

He's making reference to if the files were stolen.

It's possible, but if they were stolen - it'd cost far too much to sue that it wouldn't be worth it.

Thank you very much, really it helped.
Would you happen to know any alternatives if they were stolen? Anything that could be done?

If they stole it without your permission then yes.
