RE: Copyrighted Material and fair use on Steemit

in #steemit-issues8 years ago

Yah, this is complicated. I mean obviously Facebook is making money indirectly off someone sharing a picture I took. This is different though as the poster here is making money directly from taking my picture/video/writting or whatever and posting it. I am not totally sure how I feel, that is why I brought it up. I basically wanted some feedback from others. I actually like sharing in general in life, that said if I saw someone make a grand off my work....

I totally understand what you mean and I got to be honest, it's a tricky thing to really keep tabs on and even take any action about it. I'm actually really curious to see what sort of innovations (if any) come as a direct result of steemit with regards to these sorts of matters. There is such a huge incentive for literally anybody who's willing to do anything positive about it. I mean, look what happened with the whole account security thing and having a buddy to vouch for you and your account. If more stuff like that keeps happening steemit might just spawn a whole new renaissance of Internet protocols and stuff. It's pretty exciting.
