I think the first thing you need to do, is define what constitutes theft as to leave no ambiguity.

Personaly i would define theft as

1.Basing a work off of an existing mod authored by someone else; and presenting the orginal mod, or a rework of that mod, in such a way, as to insinuate, or outright state, that it is entirely of your own design from scratch when it was not.

2. Or, distributing a work when it was expressly forbidden for distribution, either by direct say so from the orginal author, or by implied status within a mod team working on a project with a projected release date, and prereleasing content not of your design without consent.
