RE: How Plagiarism Can End Steemit And What You Can Do About It

[kyriacos]

1. Well, how did that guy got away and even sold so many instagram pictures on his own gallery? Also Andy Warhol got away the same way. The guy never got sued though.
2. Steemit is different. it is much like being in a torrent site. We are all shareholders. The blockchain makes us all liable
3. i think you can since you get monetary rewards.

it doesn't matter if its going in other places. no other place earns you money in the way you can earn here. this is why it is so important.

1. He didn't get away with it. Richard Prince i a provocateur and I guess he had artistic and commercial interests that trumped the expenses from getting in court
2. Steemit is not different. From a legal point of view I guess it is just a website, just like Youtube or Facebook.
3. I think not



But it is true that the money involved here on Steemit does attract this kind of behaviour. It is just naive to belive that there is not any monetary agendas on other media too. Here it is just out in the open.

Do you accept the premise that we are all shareholders in here and that we bare direct responsibility?

Nowhere else the profits are tied up to everyone in the network. Again. it is much like the torrent sites.

If you want to address the risk of lawsuits, you have to see the whole case from a judicial point of view instead of a technical one.
