RE: Art Plagiarism and CryptoRecycler Case: @daio (#photographersarenotartists)
I use photography as reference / stad. And the fact that I drew this uzhemoy work, and the photo that made the photographer, this is his work
You probably do not know the definition of the word plagiarism!
Plagiarism is taking the work of others and passing it as your own without crediting the authors. In this case the photographer created his work of art/composition, the user's work is completely based on the work of art of the photographer, a derivative work, and she doesnt credit the author or photograph, hence, its plagiarism.
Additionally, you she doesnt have permission to monetize derivative works of that copyrighted photograph, so she is also infringing copyright law.
Plagiarism is an appropriation! I have not appropriated photos of the author! I painted a portrait!
Plagiarism includes derivative works. The type of plagiarism you incurred in is called art paraphrasing.
Again! Plagiarism is the assignment of someone else's work, photos, names, and more!
You probably do not understand the meaning of the word "appropriation"!

Plagiarism is Not only taking someones drawing/photograph/artwork and passing it as your own, thats called art theft, and its only the most blatant form of art plagiarism, the most common one is called art paraphrasing, which is what you are doing.
In this case, the photograph is Copyrighted by the photographer, that means that the photographer reserves all the rights of the picture to herself, and that means that to make derivative works of that photograph, as for example Your Drawing, you need permission from the author to do so. Additionally since by posting it in Steemit you are monetizing it you also need permission from the author to do that as well.
Appropiation only applies for famous artworks as for example say the monalisa, where the original is easily and readily recognized because of its popularity, or in cases where the work is transformative, and not derivative as your drawing.
