There was a statement from @tupper in the last update.
Basically some security elements are put in place to deal with rippers, but there is two main problems with it.
First, they try to do security through obscurity, by not sharing security elements, it makes it harder to counter them, but they will find a way anyway at some point.
Two, the ripping problem is a structural problem, even if you encrypt or do anything, in the end, the avatar or world is run on your pc, so you need to decrypt it, and as you do, it gets possible to dump it.
All of that to say that they can make it harder and harder, but there will be no final solution to that.
Hope I could light up aspects of your question
