Tips on using content from others on Steemit
Its very sad to see that people are using content copy pasted from elsewhere without attribution, giving credit or suggesting sources on steemit.com just to make money.
- One cannot just copy paste content from other sites/portals
- Whatsapp forwards are not considered as one's original content
- Google Should not be given as an image source
- Just because the content is available via Google search, it doesn't mean you can copy and use it.
- Whether work is published by the original creator
- If its published by the original creator who own the content, check for the licensing terms under which the work is published.
- Even if the work is published under a licensing which makes everyone to freely use the work, its always a good practice to notify the creator that we are planning to use the work and get approval from him/her.
- Always give attribution/credits to the author/creator/artist/photographer
how to use another person’s creative work in Internet?
Original post : https://freebird.in/steem/?p=4
did the cheetah not comment on the post that did it?
Dont talk about cheetah. cheetah bot is a fool actually. I recently posted something on the aim to spread a science outreach programme of my institute. I took 2 sentences from the original site. Cheetah came and flagged. Actually I already mentioned that I am from that institute. At the same time I dont see any cheetah for copy-pasters of news etc on the platform. :)
@cheetah is an effort with good intentions by @anyx ... obiviously its not his sole responsibility to be right or use citations / reference checks etc. I would say, we need to see whether we can support him.
The same incident of getting flagged by @cheetah has happened to me as well. For my own content. The bot is not cross referencing and there is no mechanism to pass the details of content ownership to it. Its actually quite easy in my case as my profile is verified with various mechanisms.
I read somewhere that the cost to run the service is very high and the developer is struggling to mange.
My original suggestions for the bot is here : https://steemit.com/steemit/@cheetah/faq-about-cheetah#@bobinson/re-cheetah-faq-about-cheetah-20171010t151601636z
really??
The @cheetah cannot always find the copy pasted contents as its source, ie the APIs its using for content verification may not be checking all the source - say Quora.
It has its on limitations as well.
For example, I am seeing whatsapp jokes being posted here. There is no way any software can identify that. The only method would be @steemcleaners which does manual verification.
