RE: How Plagiarism Can End Steemit And What You Can Do About It
I always use the creative common search https://search.creativecommons.org/ engine. Then I check for each picture what the licence requirements are. Sometimes they do not want it to be used for commercial purposes which would be the case for steemit. In the case of the material having an copyright owner then you need to reach out to the owner and ask for permission before including it in your post. Referencing will not be sufficient.
Indeed, it won't be sufficient but at least one can show aknowledgment so that people won't vote at random. Every single upvote is an invstement. An exchange of money under a legally bounted entity.
I am even thinking to post only my own material. There could be a separe upload boc for each picture where one has to include a creative commons approval.
Things is we are bound to this thing. Each and every upvote demonstrates responsibility and monetary exchange.
