RE: Do not plagiarize avoid being penalized. @lince @cheetah

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Hey man, I'm Oatmeal Joey Arnold, and good advice but sometimes people steal from others and they may copyright, patent, post, buy up, the things, and the creators will then be in trouble for posting or sharing the stuff that was actually theirs and there is Fair Use and things that are in the Public Domain as well. So, all of this can be debated and can be complex. Government can become too big as they try to regulate all of this. Many people go to Steemit because they do not like how Facebook goes about all of this.

Facebook tries to tell you what you can and cannot write and post and share whether it be copyrighted or not, or patented or not, or whether it be other people's work or not, or alleged hate speech or free speech or not, or this thing or that thing or other things. And Facebook is not the only website doing it. And many people around the world hate what Facebook is doing in regards to alleged plagiarizing or stealing or using unapproved stuff and so on and so forth, etc etc. Food for thought.
