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

Some interesting points here. One should however note that we have just recently had a case where a leading torrenting site was taken down and the owner arrested - despite not actually hosting the infringing works themselves. If national authorities start to see Steemit as a haven for copyright theft they could well take similar action particularly since the creators are publicly known and Steem now has a $400 million dollar valuation.

Excellent point! This has been my concern from the beginning. If we don't, as a community, properly police this in the beginning, it could easily spin out of control into something which could destroy this platform we're currently enjoying.
