RE: Plagiarism, Pitchforks, & Witch-Hunts... Hive-Style!

in Loving HIVE ❤3 years ago

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 Our woefully outdated copyright laws are getting overwhelmed in this digital era we live in, it wouldn't surprise if definitions and lines change more and more.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!!

Having front-end specific tokens is interesting

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. 🙏
