Is there a script/plugin that will notify me when somebody downloads my dp or scene and tells me who it was and lists it in event history?

I'm afraid that's not possible - scripts can't access that kind of information.

ok but do you know which port that stuff goes through?

There is no way to detect that because... everybody who have you on their contact list (and havng DPs shown instead of the icons) will automatically see your DP. Including anybody who has you in their hotmail contacts list, anybody who views your profile, anybody who goes to your space, skydrive, etc, etc, etc. You even don't need to be online for that, because stuff like that is stored on the servers and cached locally on your contacts' computers. Almost the same goes for the scene.

The only thing you could 'detect' in theory is when your Messenger syncronizes the DP and scene with what is stored on the server. But that doesn't say anything about who sees it at what time.

Ok thnx! I thought that stuff was through p2p

sometimes it is, but it isn't always. Hence you can't track it.

Cant someone just make a script that will compare 2 display pictures and if they are the same just assume it's stolen.

Like every 1 minutes go through the contacts list ?

but is there something that will tell me when it does go through p2p and it is possible to know who downloaded it? 

This has nothing to do with somebody "stealing" the DP.

I think only a script on the server the file is stored on might be able to access that kind of information. And if someone where to download the file i could only imagine information like his IP adress being saved... (if i understand what yer sayin'... theres no chance...)

Well, actually...  aren't contact's display pictures available from Messenger.MyContacts.GetContact(/* contact email */).DisplayPicture?

You could enumerate the contact list, open each contact's display picture, open yours, and check each contact's one to yours.  If it's a match, assume they stole it.
