RE: Steemit News: DMCA Claim for Copyright Infringement

in #copyright8 years ago

This is a huge problem...and why we need to be so vigilant about the content that we use, especially if it's not our original work! Not only does it affect the plagiarist/thief, it really affects the ENTIRE site.

I have a feeling that since the copyrighted material is permanently etched on the blockchain, the entity who filed the claim is going to want monetary compensation. Hopefully an agreement is made to rectify the situation for everyone. Which begs the question: who is ultimately responsible when this happens...and I fear it won't be the last time a ticket like this will need to be addressed. :(
