RE: STOP PLAGIARISM ON STEEMIT - ONE STEP SOLUTION TO IDENTIFY COPIED IMAGES

in #steemit7 years ago

Thanks for your comment @rhondak. I am no legal expert but yes "Images from Pixabay" and a link to the pixabay image should suffice since Pixabay itself does not require any attribution for using the images. Wherever possible the original link and name of the Photographer should be mentioned.

You may refer to this link for posting guidelines https://steemit.com/steem-help/@steemcleaners/why-cite-sources . Hope this helps

Thank you so much for that link. I had this argument with someone just the other day, and definitely needed it then. However, I'm sad to say I'll probably need it many, many more times.

I can only see the problem getting worse with the explosive growth of new users. But at the same time we can take this responsibility and work for the community. :)

Exactly. I'm helping moderate some writing support groups at Discord for minnows, and that's one issue I often address with them.
