RE: How to stop stealing content for your Steemit posts - without compromise
thanks a lot. i used to use pixabay and most of the time i couldn't find the image i was looking for. i thought if i mention the image source then it would be okay. but now i understand i shouldn't be doing that(even though i mention source, it still seems like 'stealing'). i am a newbie illustrator, so from now on i am thinking of creating my own thumbnail no matter how weird it looks. it would still be mine.
There are a lot of grey areas to be honest, and for the most part, an article on steemit making $50 isn't going to be much cause for concern until it's rampant and some bored lawyer picks up on it.
But on the other hand, learning photoshop is something I'm getting out of it, trying to design my thumbnails (and a timeline thing at the moment) - it's good incentive to learn more skills in general.
Also, I've contacted a few of the actual scientists I take contact from and they're more than happy to share their stuff, it's always good to have a little chat with them.
Basically it's more enjoyable to do things the right way, that's my conclusion
