RE: Re-Posting Other Peoples’ Photos/Videos on Steemit: Fair Use vs Commercial Use

Yes I posted about this earlier. I don't think curation would count as fair use - imagine reposting a movie you like and saying it is fair use because you are curating it. You would get laughed out of court. What makes Steemit a bigger target is the fact that there is direct money making potential. Anyway here is a link to the original post where I discuss it.

I think the difference is that (for the most part) people are posting photos that are already available for free on the internet, whether they be on the photog's site or wherever. So, in that case, it's different from a movie.

Yeah, I already included a link to you and your article in my original post :)
