Thank you for contributing to the @utopian-io anti-abuse initiative, @armandosodano.

Your insights as an artist are invaluable. The level of art plagiarism and plagiarism in general on the Steem blockchain is at times unbelievable. Part of the reason is because the topic of plagiarism when it comes to the sources of art or other creative outputs has been overshadowed by the prevalence of plagiarism of everyday text. Regardless, plagiarism within the art community and the lack of giving credit to the sources of artistic inspiration is something that must be addressed.

Your contribution showcases your passion and desire, as a professional artist, to set others on the right path. Giving credit to their sources is one relatively-minor thing anyone can do. In fact, it is something no one should ever be hesitant in doing. We can only hope that others will follow your example and willingly choose to cite sources and give credit without being asked to do so.

In terms of your post, it was very interesting to read but the lack of formatting using the full range of markdown took away from it. Also, going forward, as @enforcer48 pointed out in the comments below, please be cognizant of the differences between Steem (the blockchain) and Steemit (one of the websites that the blockchain is accessible from). To confuse them is to confuse the readers.

Your contribution has been evaluated according to Utopian policies and guidelines, as well as a predefined set of questions pertaining to the category.
