People are copying articles VERBATIM and passing it off as blogs.

in #blog8 years ago (edited)

I seen this every day, decided to make a post on it. clicked 6 posts and 4 of them were copy and pastes, some edited a bit but nothing new added.
I thought that if you read an article you can say how you feel post quotes with credit, and add something to the discussion, not just verbatim article stealing.

Stealing-others-tresure.jpgExample 1:
Steemit: https://steemit.com/facebook/@palash-joy/facebook-addiction-in-the-people
"News" Source: http://www.daily-sun.com/magazine/details/285942/The-Panacea-For-Facebook-Addiction

No credit given in the @steemit post.

Example 2:
Steemit: https://steemit.com/art/@fruityfinkamran/reshape-your-mobile-computer-mobile-enjoy-latest-app
Stolen from Google play app (he added some pics): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.computer.desktop.ui.launcher&hl=en

No Credit

Example 3:
Steemit: https://steemit.com/blockchain/@fxfighter/the-blockchain-effects-on-financial-system-will-as-same-as-what-the-internet-effected-to-the-media
Article (he changed a few words, but its the same): https://hbr.org/2017/03/the-blockchain-will-do-to-banks-and-law-firms-what-the-internet-did-to-media

Eg: Article:
"The “killer app” for the early internet was email; it’s what drove adoption and strengthened the network. Bitcoin is the killer app for the blockchain. Bitcoin drives adoption of its underlying blockchain, and its strong technical community and robust code review process make it the most secure and reliable of the various blockchains "

Steemit:
The "master app" for the first internet was email; it's what went adoption and strengthened the network. Bitcoin is the master app for the Blockchain. Bitcoin drives re-homing of its underlying Blockchain, and its strong technological community and robust code review process make it the most secure and reliable of the various Blockchains

Low and behold, NO CREDIT.

Example 4
Steemit: https://steemit.com/altcoins/@redhotcityy/what-is-dash (to be fair he did credit the article but added nothing to it)
Article: http://cryptoworldlife.com/what-is-dash/
