RE: STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY – Do I have the right to use it on Steemit?
I've already run across a few accounts that do that. I've even seen someone quite blatantly post someone else's youtube tutorial video as though it was their own. People will suffer a backlash for it eventually. The best thing to do i think is to try and just educate people about it as much as possible.
Right! And I think we photographers need to be united in making sure people are educated about it. There are some places on chat where you can report abuse. There is a channel called steemcleaners--linkdrop where you can provide links to plagiarism and scams etc. Unfortunately, so far they will not do anything about copyright violation, only plagiarism. so, if someone uses a photo without attribution to the photographer, it is looked upon as plagiarism.
That's good to know, I'm going to look that channel up!
