RE: The Kid From the children's home who taught me the true meaning of "strength"... and how to choose a name for my son (featuring @hanshotfirst as author)
Great post. Thanks.
One thing I'm confused about though is that all I read about is how the rules of Steemit forbid use of other peoples works (such as photos) especially without giving credit. And that the whales and others will downvote / flag. This post is full of them, yet the dollar value is in the $1,000s. Is there any ryhme or reason? Just wondering. I'm so confused about how things work around here. Thanks.
@piedpiper once said - "It's simple when you discard the whole concept of so-called intellectual property.
If I own my body and tools, then I can use them however I please. You can own storage devices and other such physical objects but you can't own information. As a musician and screenwriter, I understand that I charge for the service of production, performance, and distribution. I 'm not selling property, I'm providing services. As such, I don't concern myself with IP protection whatsoever."
I think it makes good sense..
Interesting perspective. Thanks.
