How is steemit planning to handle copyright lawsuits?
I am realy enjoying Steemit.com, however I am concerned about copyright lawsuits. The image I used as far as I know is public domain (I researched it) but what if it was the work of an artist that did not want me to use it or someone uploads illegal material to steemit? How would @ned @dan handle that issue. Let me know in the comments what you think.
This is exactly why I think down-votes should also get some kind of curator reward. Also the first few to flag a crappy and/or copyrighted post, that get's heavily down-voted, should get most of the reward.
Thats seems logical to me. keeps the sytem in check
I like this in theory, @pilot, but I wonder about the longer term implications and if another variable could introduce new forms of malicious behavior into the mix.
funny stuff! lol
good question. i would like to know if the community votes on it staying(flagging), or if steemit decides to take it down.
This is a question I'd like to know the answer to as well good call.
I am very curious as well!
Most sites have a specific "report copyright violation" link. Per the DMCA, I think sites that allow user-generated content are obligated to have these and respond to them.
I've had to use these on Youtube, Apple's app store, Amazon, and other places when content that I wrote was infringed and sold by other parties. It isn't fun, but it does work.
