RE: A Few Steemit Images for the Community

in #steemit8 years ago

@awesomianist There is absolutely zero grey area in this matter. I find it difficult to believe that with all the other photographers here that this has not already been addressed within the SteemIt community. To smugly cite a link with its terms to an image site that you do not fully comprehend, alter images by commercializing them with a brand, accepting payment on post (profiting), and then telling the entire community to do the same, smacks of blatant intellectual property theft/copyright infringement, and only perpetuates the ignorance. No one is above copyright laws. If you don't fully understand the implications associated with these issues, I strongly recommend exercising the time to educate yourselves about them.

Perhaps I'm too liberal to say that there is grey area.
However I must agree on all your other points. In fact I believe copyright is a very important matter and one of the main concern by the greater community.
