RE: Five Bad Steemit Habits to Give Up Now
I side with the hubby, great "novel" comment my dear :)
I had someone plagiarize most of my books. One person. I would say they do not have a family or life as they have an exorbitant amount of time for marketing and advertising, and after changing the titles and blurbs they make a decent living from my countless hours of creation.
Needless to say it's a sore spot. That's me being super nice :)
I have a copyright attorney. It can take ten to twelve years to get everything back under my control...
I think both follow 4 follow and plagiarism are cultural norms. I've spoken to a few people who actually (seemed, although they could have been playing me) felt bad for using someone else's work and genuinely seemed to not understand that is was wrong- not to mention illegal.
Well, in this instance, at least I had the time needed to write a complete comment. I don't seem to have much of a "mid-range" button. Either I have nothing to add ... or I have so much to say in response that I don't even dare get started. In that case -- and I can't begin to count the number of time this has happened, I reluctantly move on without saying a word, because something in me would rather not start a project than do a half-assed job of it. (I don't know what to do with me either!! [sigh] )
