RE: Does Steemit count as commercial usage of content?

in #steemit7 years ago

Got it. I think that I'd still try to debate whether what I'm doing is "commercial". I don't feel like it's commercial.

And I think that the fair use clause doesn't allow for derivative work unless there is a certain amount of modifications. I'm not sure either.

And you made me think of memes again. This meme:

Oh, no, there's an album cover, I don't have a license to share the album cover. By sharing this meme, I'm breaking the law! ??? What about the maker of the meme? There are all of these little nuances to owned stuff that make it really hard to ascertain what is proper use, what isn't, and why.

Sort:  

Oh no! In 7 days you're getting money! Good luck with the law :P

😂😂😂 Lol, so evil. I'll have to use the money for lawyer fees.

It's commercial! You are making money! Your blogs will be forever on the Blockchain and you are risking photographers issuing DMCA Takedown notices against Steemit, which is going to harm the whole Steemit community!

You will also be risking Small Claims Court action if Bill 3945 passes Congress! Photographers are very excited about this Bill!
