RE: Why You Should Care About Plagiarism and Fair Use

in #plagiarism8 years ago

Great post. I was not aware of the Google search tool to search by license type. I've been wondering about what different sources there were for images. Also, great point about the existential threat that the government poses to this 'society'. The fact is that Steemit, Inc. is a US based company, and I'm not sure, but this could be considered distribution of copyright material. It's probably only a matter of time before they have copyright claims taken against them to take down posts (from steemit.com, not the blockchain of course). Something that they will likely do, in order to avoid lawsuits.

Sort:  

Yeah, I've been thinking a lot about that. Will they go after individuals or the site itself? Since individuals can't change posts after they pay out, it'll have to be the site. That could keep them really, really busy with so many take-down requests and it could harm the image they are going for which is a decentralized, uncensored social media platform.
