First of all he is not selleing someone's work. Steemit is anonymous so there's no way to sue some post making money from a stolen picture. Yes it's a desperate attempt to make some cash. If I post a song by Snoop Dogg and get 4$ can they sue me for 150k? Don't think so.
Of course it's intellectual property and should give credit to the author, but talking about licensing is irrelevant in this he context of cryptos at this moment. I would love to see that change.

You're not correct. Steemit is not fully anonymous if you registered with FB or a Phone number. But that's besides the point it's wrong to profit from other people's work who have invested thousands of dollars in equipment, and years in their craft without their permission.

You can always create a fake account on fb. There are hundreds of bots on steemit, not real people. I agree it's wrong. I record sound and music for a living and also invested lots of equipment and time and I get your point. Even if he cites his source and gets a fat payout its wrong again to make money out of someone's work. Fortunately we can flag.
