It's definitely a tricky one as far as where exactly the line is at. To some degree we want to be able to share things we think are cool and interesting, but the ability for us to make money of them changes things compared to doing the same thing on other social networks.

I've tended to view this through the question of "What value am I adding to the original post?" This means if things are copy/pasted, I'm still providing something personal on top of that, such as a paragraph or so of my reaction to each point. Even though portions are still copied, I view this more in a sense of a review, versus copy-pasta.

I liked @inertia's option of the $0.99 max payout (which would be nice to have in the UI itself) as well as @denmarkguy's preference of giving a teaser with a link driving people to use the original creators site. As was also stated, we do have the newslink tag for copied news articles...maybe we need to start a similar link tag for just sharing cool stuff that wouldn't fall under being news.

Maybe we should bring this topic up on a @steemittalk podcast in the future.
