RE: Plagiarism - is it legal to earn STEEMDOLLARS by posting other peoples' content?
Right. Last week I posted Biggies original demo tape. The way I look at it is if you enjoy the photo or video or article, you are upvoting/paying me, not for producing the article, but for bringing it to your attention. If I said this scene from a tv show is funny, you agree, upvote me, become a fan of the tv show, then you support the creators as you see fit.
However if you paste a Washington Post article into the body of your post and act like it is your original content, that's plagerism
That's true. I think it's ok to link. But the question is whether it is ok to be paid for it in the same way as if you were the author and posted it.
In my post I was writing about people who post stuff without mentioning the source (e.g. pictures etc.)
