Posting on STEEMIT: Have No Fear of Thieves, it's ALREADY GONE!
There is a very popular post trending at the moment asking people to STOP STEALING! https://steemit.com/plagiarism/@lukestokes/why-you-should-care-about-plagiarism-and-fair-use
Woo, I'm all for that! Stop stealing what?
Ideas?.. no, no, no - there is no need to say such a thing because there are no ground-breaking, entirely original, never-before-thought-of-by-another-human-being ideas being expressed here!
In regards to word-for-word plagiarism, only complete idiots nd children resort to that; using images, artwork, or music without respecting the wishes of the creators, that is one thing .. of course it would be nice to put some effort into giving credit where credit is due ... even though they probably ripped someone off along the way, in order to produce their totally new and awesome whatever-the-fuck.
WARNING! The minute someone "lawyers-up" here on STEEMIT, the experiment is over!!
As far as I am concerned, watching all the great (and original) content that is being washed away by the constant flood of other soon to be washed away work, I have little sympathy for anyone, who has done well at anything, crying about being stolen from - it's not like someone is going to post someone else's cure for cancer here. ;-)
I think we should have this in our minds when posting here ... as soon as you put it up, it's gone! :) Repurposement is an evolutionary necessity. Besides, this is like one massive water-cooler conversation ... everyone who is saying something heard something from someone else, and that's how we all end up hearing that Mandy has had sex with everyone in the office - important shit to know!!
Amen .. oops, I did not check the reuse rights on any of those fucking images! dammit!
Looking at the last image in your post made me laugh... sometimes stock images are really crazy and I wonder what the people making them were thinking while doing such a stupid setup :)
:)))
Of course. And fucking annoying. And fucking useless to be upset because of this.
It's a game.
Aye ..the people commenting on the original post ..so vigorously - if you look at the crap they are producing, there is very little chance they will be victims. :-)
I agree people will eventually realize also that copying and foolishness is not profitable on Steemit.
Yes, everybody should just chill. Well said, including every single adjective, all of them necessary.
Thanks Rick
I am calling the Po-pos! That is THEFT! Nice Post.
