RE: Does Steemit Have A Copyright Problem?

in #dtube • 7 years ago (edited)

No,no,no, I am not saying it's OK to take others work and monetize it just to make money.
That would suck.
But, if you share something you find interesting which is not on steemit and will never be, publish it and make it clear that it is someone else's work, it is a win win situation. The information gets out. Why not monetizing it then? Nobody gets harmed, the opposite, the original author might get some more followers on youtube...
For example:
I myself uploaded a video off youtube which was sitting there for many years without many views, but it contained a very important interview I thought everyone should see, become aware of it and hopefully create a discussion.
I will probably earn 0.02 steems for it.
It's about information being spread, not the money.
Here is the post if you are interested...

    Hum. I think that might be ok, since when you embed the video on the post, the creator get the ad revenue, and If he want to, he may forbide embedding through YouTube.

    But, If you download the video, post on your Channel, then post here that IS a problem. That is stealing.(also YouTube have Copyright detection mechanisms)

    That is the big issues with text. If you copy(without authorization), people read what you copy, and two things happen:

    1 they miss the source, and think you wrote It
    2 people see the source but since already read the text, dont Go to the source.

    Both ways the author dont get paid for his work, and someone not related profit from his brains.

    If you wanna talk about this great article, say what you think about It, and link the source. This is How It must work. (Unless, of course, the author authorize Full reproduction)
