Hahahah I'm glad you fell for the bait! :)
Yes it's a tricky one really, this is why I completely steer away from using anything with a potential copyright. I'm lucky that I'm a photography enthusiast so I have tens of thousands of my own photos I can use in posts.. as well as create them very quickly when I need :)
There are also different rules in different countries regarding intellectual properties. There are some countries with zero laws /enforcement of the law.
The problem with decentralised / uncensored platforms is that some people equate copyright enforcement with censorship, which are not the same.
There is some precedent for companies going after decentralised platforms about copyright. Pirate Bay is a good example. They lost in court and were ordered to 'take things down'.. but the BitTorrent network is completely and truly decentralised, so that is impossible. You can still use Pirate Bay today! :) . The governments have tried blocking the website from your ISP level (like here in the UK), but new proxy servers pop up all over the place to bypass all that. They can't stop it.
haha yes, clickbaiter!! hahah I went all in to add my two cents then to agree hahah XD
Yes copyright and censorship is not the same thing. And wether it can or not be stopped people will continue to do it, but they should not "justify" it as "right" it which is a different thing.
But here is worse cos blogs are monetised those videos are "monetised". I invest lots of time on making my posts worth here, I don't want steem to be stained as a place were copyright is not taken care of, or a scam, or worse, we are all reponsible for its face to "outsiders" and stating that copyright is respected (thanks god @steemcleaners) is really for the good of all. This is a self-managed net community... the way we behave also reflects us as a whole.
