RE: Who owns a post? Intellectual property, data ownership and content licensing on Steemit
Hi, @personz,
Thanks for this very thorough and thoughtful analysis of IP issues on Steemit.
My own (admittedly very naive) take on the whole thing has always been that I post only some mix of original and permitted content, and that I own what I create and post, here or anywhere.
In my particular case -- and I realize that your mileage may vary -- one of the big attractions of Steemit for me is to "get my work out there" - to have something like a "written/digital legacy" that I don't have to be personally concerned about maintaining and propagating - i.e. buying domain names, leasing web space, etc. This assumes, of course, that I write quality content that is valuable to readers, now and on into some undefined future.
I appreciate that you've addressed this topic so coherently! 😄😇😄
Glad to have you read it! I agree, that's a major advantage of the platform, the legacy aspect is an interesting one I hadn't considered directly, thanks. For my part, I'm trying to understand the implications of that legacy, and the fact that it's completely public.
Thanks for the support! 😆
