RE: Is Steemit.com protected as intellectual property?

in #steemit6 years ago (edited)


The problem with your "licensing" claim saying not okay. Is with enforcement. How can steemit enforce this, if an app is released on IPFS? they can't. seed nodes = you cant take it down. Once enough people request or demand an app it will be seeded no matter what. Pirate bay's example rings true. Kazaa, Or usenet, whatever else you want to point to. they all violate IP and exist.Well that is easy enough to find out. lol. https://github.com/smokenetwork/webapp

That would be a matter for the courts. The courts can absolutely shut down websites in certain jurisdictions. Again it seems like we are arguing two different things. Steem is open sourced but steemit.com is a website built on top of steem.
