RE: Jaguar Force Expands
As far as I can see the image is sourced correctly. There is a source from where it is taken. There are various sources around the internet. Giving a source is a logical and obvious indication that author of this post is not the creator of the image.
Also there is a watermark with a name or original author that is a clear credit given to the original author of the image.
even if the source is a rip-off? So by your definition, a user can just copy shit as long as it is linked to "something"? Regardless if that "something" is a rip-off? So here it goes, I could steal something, post it on Pinterest, and then link to it? You guys are just soft in the cranium! "Logic" is definitely a misnomer!
You don't make logical sense. These images are found on various pages.
Even if it wasn't and the image was copied from somewhere and then uploaded to some Pinterest, then it is still not plagiarism as the creator of the post DOESN'T CLAIM TO BE AUTHOR OF THAT IMAGE NEITHER BY SAYING SO NOR BY USING POPULAR TAGS SUCH AS ART OR PHOTOGRAPHY (tagging post in curated tags that reward for creating own art, photography, etc).
When Steemian is providing the source of image then he/she is (logically) claiming that the image doesn't belong to him/her.
Otherwise there would be no need to provide the source in the first place. If Steemian doesn't provide the source than it can be considered that this Steemian is pretending to be the author if he/she uses curated tags (or just claims in the post to be author).
So, once again. Writing post without giving sources of used images is not an actual abuse unless the post is using curated tags that reward for creating own images (photography, art, etc) or when there's claim for the authorship of the image.
It is recommend, though, that the source should be provided every time for better quality of the post, regardless of there is claim for authorship or relevant curated tags are being used.
And using more logical fallacies such as this ad hominem, will not make your half baked argument convincing.
I didn't get my academic degree and credentials out of a cereal box. The one who doesn't make sense is you. Regardless what tags are used, a copyright violation is just that. Bad research is just that.

But knowing about that might be too steep of a learning curve for your protegee (but I hope it isn't for you).
This here is another image by the photographer that got ripped off - now try to right-click and see what it says:

You have just used another logical fallacy.
Having some degree or credentials in some subject or field doesn't make you automatically an expert in other fields. Despite that having getting a degree in some faculty doesn't necessary mean that someone is an expert neither. To be an expert in the field with good credentials, it takes years of producing legitimate research and establishing position in the filed.
Just the fact that you have used that ignorant and generic response "I didn't get my academic degree and credentials out of a cereal box.", says something about your ability to for logical discourse.
This logical fallacy is called "Appeal to Accomplishment".
It can be also "Appeal to Authority" where you claim yourself to be authority in the subject of copyright (because you have expertise/educational degree in something other subject).
Although you have no expertise in this subject, so appealing yo yourself as authority in the subject of authority would then be "Appeal to non-authority).
Another "ad hominem".
You may have got some degree in something but you seem to fail to be educated about the basics of logical discourse, as you have proven over and over again. And this could be have been ad hominem directed at you, if you had not proven otherwise.
The information in "vagallery" link that you have provided only supports the idea of proper sourcing and giving credentials to the author, which was given by jaguar.force, as he gave the source and showed credentials of the artist.
And there you have it, the head cleaner of SteemCleaners telling you clearly, unequivocally, that you are wrong and that we are right.
Have a great day sir.
