Good thoughts on this, while it is not stealing they might be profiting off of ones work, but Have you seen the posts about other people's posts? like hidden gem ideas.

They are using the peoples work on their posts they are giving credit but, are they giving a portion of the rewards to the original authors? even though they make more than the ones that created the content, no of course not.

Steemit has a lot of grey area that needs to be seen just as it is.

For those that don't really understand what stealing is.."take (another person's property) without permission or legal right and without intending to return it."

Again I am against it but to say stealing on Steemit is kind of out thier.
