RE: Nothing is Original - Plagiarism is not steemits greatest enemy
I did watch the video and read the post and I could say so much more, but I wanna keep it short.
Plagiarism is accepted, everyone starts to do it, people start cashing out, no one is willing to buy steem because there is no point in doing so, the platform dies out. The end.
- Bonus lawsuits against members of Steemit who have plagiarized and to Steemit.inc (Everyone rages out of "happiness")
Note: I do agree that sometimes the response from the abuse channel can be "too aggressive".
I do agree there is a need to police plagiarism. I'm not disputing that. I just think with it now being incentivised we may have created a monster. It shouldn't be taken as seriously as it is and the attitude is spreading around the community to people who don't fully understand when copying material is not abuse. There is a fair use act people seem to completely forget.
