RE: When some witnesses and others give their voice / upvote to an account that uses a photo for another person and even his name "Justin Sun"

in WORLD OF XPILAR5 years ago

I absolutely agree with your opinion @xpilar and support what you say. I can't accept the excuse "freedom of expression" it is a plagiarism to use the image of others and cites them,without the reference to source and this is why many witnesses DOWNVOTED many little accounts as well as @jaguar.force, who I really respect for his work that the person does but I do not understand in such situation why we do exclusion.

Should we just choose what is comfortable for us and use it to reach our own goal to put people into confusion and mess up with the reputation of others. It is called "Rufschädigung" in German or "reputational harm" for doing that people can sue and will win
In my opinion the person @justinsunsteem who created the account is only there to get attention of others and of course to earn Steem. Otherwise he would just Burn out the payout.

In this situation the witnesses should show their stand to this situation because today Justin is the victim but tomorrow it could be any of us.

This I can call freedom of speech that it is only a person @xpilar is brave enough to tell it aloud.I completely agree and support your view and hope many others will share this opinion.

Hi @stef1

after posting this, @justinsunsteem has changed the distribution of rewards

Pending payout amount: $28.95
Breakdown: 3.47 SBD, 56.70 STEEM, 74.61 SP
justinsunsteemit: 25.00%
misterdelegation: 25.00%
steem: 25.00%
steemit: 25.00%
Payout in 6 days

and change to that, and then they defend it by giving the @justinsunsteem upvote. It is not justifiable by those we have trusted

Pending payout amount: $0.05
Breakdown: 0.00 SBD, 0.00 STEEM, 0.25 SP
null: 50.00%
steem.dao: 50.00%
Payout in 7 days

but it seems that @justinsunsteem is already losing its popularity

Actually I set 100% beneficiaries on all my post but one. So I earned 16SP that I powered up. So I am not making any money with this. Furthermore:

Will you downvote me now because I plagiarised your profile picture?

@justinsunsteem, now you're just stupid

What Is Fair Use?

In its most general sense, a fair use is any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and “transformative” purpose, such as to comment upon, criticize, or parody a copyrighted work. Such uses can be done without permission from the copyright owner. In other words, fair use is a defense against a claim of copyright infringement. If your use qualifies as a fair use, then it would not be considered an infringement.

fair use of copyright, you can not believe in this case even if it is called satire

yes, parody/satire is a specific clear case protected under fair use as @hiddenblade just shown you.
now to the real question, do you like justin sun or do you just wanna fuck him?

Hi @jaguar.force

Yes, the law is clear if it is within this framework

If your use qualifies as a fair use, then it would not be considered an infringement.

And using the image as an avatar for that account is it allowed to do that?
I know you know a lot about this when it comes to copying other works or pictures

Yes it is allowed because its clearly a parody.
