I could probably go to any post on this blockchain and call out plagiarism based on some arbitrary standard of some sort. As an example, I could use the standard set for one course I took at a university. Basically if all references are not cited using APA citation it will be considered plagiarism. It doesn't matter if it used MLA citation, it will still be considered plagiarised when it comes to grading (voting) time.
Ironically, in this example from my university course, these same professors would fail to provide proper credit to his/her graduate students (a.k.a. slaves) for their work on his PowerPoint presentations that they put together for presentation in class. In fact, I don't recall any of my college professors doing this. Hypocrites!😀
This particular argument is why I have changed my thoughts on the Hive token finally moving off the social frontends of the blockchain. Frontends need to come up with their own token tied to Hive through Hive Engine, or have no token at all, completely up to the front end owners. Then each frontend and its community can set their own standard and there will be consistency...maybe.
Lots of emotion around the financial aspect, change that up and I believe you take down the heat a notch or two across the entire blockchain when it comes to these "witchhunts".
But what do I know, nothing really. I'm just here for the social and to invest a little. Other than that, my life would still go on just fine if Hive disappeared off the face of the earth. Not going to get too spun up over any of this stuff on here anymore. Just going to create content, comment on shit I like, curate, and try and meet new people.
You make a very interesting point on what counts as plagiarism or not. Our woefully outdated copyright laws are getting overwhelmed in this digital era we live in, it wouldn't surprise if definitions and lines change more and more.
Same goes for hypocritical plagiarism by those enforcing plagiarism 'laws.'
Having front-end specific tokens is interesting. I wonder how that would impact people's behavior...
Emotion around finance is one of my least favorite things, I much prefer rational, level-headed, solution-seeking over emotional knee-jerk...well... anything. But to each their own. That said, there are earners on every social platform, and many people get angry if they earn off 'plagiarized' stuff.
I'm glad you don't get too spun out, I'm the same, it's all whatever. Thanks for weighing in, and wishing you a great day! 🙏
Yes!!
It is and goes beyond just the behavior really. Imagine a tribe with its own token. Hive on a more micro level. Such as the #CTP community here on Hive blockchain with their own CTP token traded on the Hive Engine. It is a small thriving community that is very active and very positive.
I understand, and CTP may be a good example! At the same time, I was more thinking of 'human nature', behaviors that have been around since Neanderthal times, etc. We can get into it during walk-n-talk if you like. :) 🙏
Sounds fun!

creatives existed long before copyright laws
you cannot copyright a recipe - and yet innovation exists in the culinary arts
you cannot copyright a shirt or a dress pattern - and yet innovation exists in the fashion industry
you cannot copyright a joke - and yet innovation exists in comedy
you cannot copyright a dictionary - and yet innovation exists in lexicography
not to mention
all patents expire after 20 years
all copyright should expire after 20 years
how many versions of the three pigs and cinderella and pinocchio exist
copyright was only created to protect CREATORS from CORPORATIONS
now copyright is used as a weapon of CORPORATIONS against CREATORS (remix-mashup-reimagine)
All excellent points to contribute to the discussion, and an easy-to-understand explanation in the linked video. Thank you again. 🙏
