RE: The Difference Between A "Post" & A Publication

in #steemit6 years ago

@elamental Great points you have stated there.
You've simplified the entire concept of copyright and through this post I have sincerely discovered the need for referencing and acknowledgment of sources of work. This you did when you stated in simple but clear terms the fact that copyright is a natural right and creators should be accorded the same level of protection and rights as they would have over any other real or physical property. That has stock with me and has changed my entire idea of copyrights and the real need to acknowledge an author for his works.
From the way you broke down into simple terms the entire somewhat complex legal aspect of copyright, I'm tempted to believe that you may be a lawyer.. Or are you?
I was initialy drawn to this write up by @dynamicshine for competitional/contest reasons, but having read what I have, I can sincerely say that the knowledge that I have garnered from this piece is far more rewarding than any reward I may get from any contest whatsoever. I have just followed you and wouldn't want to miss any subsequent sought of intellectual write such as this.
You have by this article challenged me in my blogging life to look beyond the immediate rewards. As you had rightly stated that a quality article is compensation enough for the reader.
Thank you for this and keep up the good work.
@dynamicshine thank you for this opportunity of enlightenment. I would say the footsteps of the righteous are ordered by the lord.
Do have a great day ahead.

Yes, we all have to be very careful in posting our blogs with proper referencing of the real author. When I was starting blogging here, I was innocent until somebody told me I have to properly credit it. I've learned my mistake and since then, I never have done anything that could disrespect any author. But, we can't deny there are still people who seemingly don't know how to respect others and still plagiarize.

Thank you for joining in on here. I'm just trying to help this community and because I love what I'm seeing here on Steemit so far as I'm learning a lot from different people and their cultures. Have a great day to you, too. @michaelemmanuel

I am so glad this is reaching so many Steemians and influencing their content creation in a positive manor, as well as expanding their knowledge on copyrights. That was the main intention behind writing this article.

I am not a lawyer btw. Although I know more about law now than I ever did. It is quite complex however, and I really only know certain categories of law, and general law. But I am by no means an expert.

Wow.. That's great..I'm surprised that you are not a lawyer.
I'm a lawyer myself and i can say you did an excellent job breaking down the concept of copyrights. Keep up the good work.

Are you an intellectual property lawyer by any chance?

No I'm more of a Real Estate Lawyer.. But I'm vast with Intellectual Property Laws as well.

What state do you practice real estate law in? I am actually having an issue in that realm and could use a couple answers to a questions I have. Are you on Discord by chance?

I'm a Nigerian, Although I practice in Nigeria for now, I believe I would still have some knowledge that could be beneficial to you. Irrespective of Location, principles of Law in most cases are generally the same, we may just have differences in procedures and application.
I'm always available to help. My username on discord is @michaelemmanuel

Thank you buddy, I appreciate it.

In America(are you from btw?), it is said that every family needs a lawyer in the family. Are you the dynamicsteemians lawyer now?🤓
