You have copy/pasted an image off the internet using an "artistic" tag, thus implicitly claiming to be the original creator.

Copy/pasting content without consent of the original creator is potentially illegal. Moreover, posting it on Steemit with the intention to make money of it is highly unethical.

Plagiarism is the copying & pasting of others work without giving credit to the original author or artist. (quote from steemcleaners)

Repeated copy/pasting, plagiarism or tag abuse is considered spam. Spam is discouraged by the community and may result in action from steemcleaners or other users. (based on a quote from steemcleaners)

On Steemit, you get paid for creating valuable original content, i.e. your own work, not for copying the existing work of others. This is the very essence of what keeps the Steemit economy strong and keeps the Steem currencies from devaluation by inflation. By posting copy/pasted content, you are contributing to the destruction of the very basis of the Steemit economy.

  • I have reported you to steemcleaners.
  • I have also reported you to the @photocontests curators; they have a zero tolerance policy for plagiarism and will put you on their blacklist to make sure you'll never receive an upvote from their bots again.
  • If you continue to post copy/pasted content, I will report you to steemcleaners again, I will flag you, and expose your behavior to other users.

If you feel like this warning is in error, please respond with proof that you are the original creator of this content or an explanation as to why your post represents a significant contribution of your own original content over the original work and proof that you are allowed to use the original work.
