Having him post stolen content DOES increase interaction on the Steemit platform and this is nice in the short term.
But it also exposes the entire Steemit Domain to be taken down. All it would take is ZeroHedge.com to realize their content has banked some internet loser almost $140,000 in the last year alone.
This is how much THEY could have made by doing the same. And they are the content owners.
Think they’d mind? Maybe, maybe not. Quite the risk to the rest of us just because YOU don’t care.
It’s simple enough for them to file a DMCA Takedown notice which, even though Steemit is 'decentralized', the domain would come down.
The DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) is a United States copyright law focused on digital mediums that helps content owners get their stolen content removed in a fast and efficient manner.
The second party injured here is the rest of the rewards pool. He’s soaked $140,000 out of the rest of us. If you read the white paper, that’s $140,000 that would have been awarded out to everyone else.
