You can only find them accidentally. Many ppl don't change the name of the code, it's pretty easy to find them then. I you feel your rights violated because someone copied your code, pls post links to the original and the copy. Mods will report the copies then, so they get removed.

@Mods: Time to report! @Kinshuk: Three mods can censor the code. This informs SL to remove it. I'll report it now.

Do you visit all the trending codes? That may take ages to do?

Visit new codes. Tons of plagiarised codes.
