How safe is Our Intellectual property?

I joined steemit a day a go , and I must say the amount of creative, intellectual and original work here will leave a regular blog running out of server space, is eye catching and very tempting. Lets say a gold mine of contents.

Then this question pops in my head "are they safe?"

What do you think? I hope to find out in the comment section.
What do I think? while steemit has taken measures to curb plagiarism within, this cannot stop the bad eggs from stealing creative work from this platform to personal blogs, social media or other websites, as more often than not this websites have no provision to curb such excesses.

But hey! Steemians are smart, creative people who rely on loyalty and honor to move the community forward as I have noticed in my short time on the platform and i have a strong conviction this loyalty and trust we've given to each other will keep or intellectual property safe to a great extent, so keep the creativity coming.

I am interested in your opinions and am sure others are too as well, mention people who have better understanding of the subject matter to throw more insights. Cheers! and happy holidays.
