Hello Reinhard. I'm glad to see you!
You did the right thing that you decided to state your position, I hope this will be a step towards ensuring that everything becomes fine on Steem. This is really quite a painful topic for conversation, but clarity needs to be brought into this conversation. I fully agree with your words, now people began to look for the flaws of other people to poke a finger at them and assert themselves (I’m not talking specifically about someone) that is the reality. As for plagiarism and the whole story with detective Jaguar, I don’t know if this is good or bad, but I don’t like the fact that it causes a lot of resonance and a lot of controversy within the Steem community. If all these investigations and accusations of artists are done to maintain order and that the artists do not deceive the audience by presenting other people's works for their own, this is good, but the coin has two sides and it may be that this is all to gain popularity and spoil the pleasant atmosphere. on Steemit. Honestly, I do not know. I had a case when I wrote my new track and sent it to listen to my friends, they said that I took this job from another musician and sent me a song that was similar to my work, and it really was very similar to each other. I went live on YouTube where I showed my workflow and thus confirmed that my work is author's.
There are only 7 music notes, and there are millions of artists, so coincidences are not excluded, and in the work with a drawing, something may be similar to another. You correctly said that novice artists learn from masters and there is nothing wrong with that, in order to understand the technique and other nuances a person needs an example.
I don’t know what to add, I want to support the wisest advice that Shibasaki said "This fighting must stop."
P.S. And your captain said very wise words too, everyone should follow what he said!
And sorry for my terrible English, I try to learn!
Thank you for your elaborate comment... your English is more than sufficient. For many of us, it is not the native language.
Like I tried to outline, there is a lot of gray zone, and part of the problem lies in the complexity of the subject.
As a painter, I have no idea, how a musician comes up with their compositions and for me, it would be next to impossible to ignore all the melodies I already know, while I want to find a new one.
First thing for me would again be what our captain said. You are the first one, who knows what you are doing.
