RE: Possible lawsuit threatened against Steemit

I thought I read somewhere when ned was talking about some sort of legal concept it is covered under but I cant find it at this point. I cant think of what it is akin too either but if I find it I will post it to you.

I know people have gotten things pulled of say youtube for example but as far as I understand I don't think there is a real way to take things off the blockchain. They may be able to block things in a way from the steemit front end but I have no idea how courts would see this.

It's interesting what you said earlier, that the plantiff has no agreement with Steemit, but it sounds like Steemit would just direct the plantiff to the user who was profiting off their work.
