RE: Another whale Plagiarist- @stan
I'm all about exposing plagiarism, but this is not a case of plagiarism, and @stan is not a whale.
The first two lines of the post from @stan clearly state:
Here's a quote from Doug Casey that I liked.
Source: Doug Casey on the Recent Corruptions of the English Language
This is the link that @stan provided where he stated the "source"
http://www.yeoldejournalist.com/doug-casey-english-language/
As many users agree, it is best to add some personal insight or opinion to any video or text that you are linking and posting, which @stan did not do, but he did give proper credit and only wanted to share a quote that he liked.
Sharing a quote you like is not covered by fair use.
The post is nothing but a copy and paste quote besides that the only thing not copy pasta is him saying I like this quote and a link.
I fixed my post to say he had a link and said it was a quote but it does not fall under fair use like he is claiming and he does not have written concent by the original creator to use the work.
So it is what it is. He has a link where he copied it from but that is the only thing one could say was original work n the whole post.
People that use free to use picts in their posts get flagged for not posting links but pure copy pasta with link provided is ok I guess.
not bad thing just gives me ideas on stuff to do now that I know steemit is ok with this type of stuff.
Fair use or not (only a court can decide), this is not plagiarism.
Your post is a false accusation and I'm flagging it for that reason.
What is it, only a court can decide or you can? If only a court can decide then you can not say it isn't plagiarism because only a court can say if it falls under fair use and if not it is plagiarism.
I edited the post long before you flagged it and it says he left a link and said it was a quote.
I have said to stan publicly in the comments that it was my mistke and changed the post. He is the one claiming its fair use, not me.
I will ask to please remove the flagg. I would rather not do a huge post about Plagiarism laws and fair use. I doubt I will anyways the shit bores me and I already have to deal with it to much as it is.
Are you in return flagging his comments accusing me of the same thing you are saying I am getting flagged for?
Maybe your just protecting him because he has a lot of steem power and that anon bot thing with crazy steem power?
I think I have another reply from you I will get to it soon.
Of course you did. specifically the flagging whales are why I am leaving before I even got started. Just remember, you don't always know who has what influence before you say your peice. You should look at your comments chain to see how easy it is to get under a whales skin around here.
your leaving already? :O
Keep in mind it's a three paragraph quote from a much larger two-part article by Doug Casey.
This is done everywhere on the internet by content aggregators of all kinds. It's fair because it brings traffic to the original author by highlighting something and calling it to other people's attention. Much like a retweet or a resteem in net effect.
It might be fair in your opinion but does not fall under fair use law.
That is nice it brings him traffic but that is the only reason it is ok to use when it does fall under fair use and your post is not made in the form of something that would be considered fair use.
So no matter how much traffic you bring him it does not change the laws.
Your post is not commentary, search engines, criticism, parody, news reporting, research, or scholarship so no matter how much traffic you bring him it does not change anything.
whatever though, I said you left a link and said it was a quote. lol
Yeah, I was unaware of the 80% thing myself, although I rarely used text from others and still take all my own photos and make my own images.
Some folks put you through a lot with all that flagging, so I know where you are coming from.
On a side note, I bet @stan will be adding more of his own thoughts and opinions in posts where he shares quotes, thanks to you.
I agree, the whole post lacks any original content after the first two lines.
No one can disagree with that.
The 80% thing I can only say 100% for sure is for video. I would have to think text would be the same if not more so considering sentence structure can be plagurised without using the same words.
I now have stan saying
I guess me saying my bad and I was wrong wasent good enough. -smh-
oh well. lol
Life goes on, at least we are all learning.
trying to. lol
