RE: Russian Scientists Announce Historic Discovery - Transmutation of Elements
Copy-pasting entirely a text from a website without permission is content stealing, even if you cite it. This is why I flagged you.
errr, so how are we supposed to share information? I'm not submitting a journal report to be peer-reviewed mate, and do you propose that everyone reword everything they wish to share?
You might want to flag everything I post then, because I use this service as a middleman of information networks.
Copy pasting is stealing. Period. If you want to share something, you can always share the link, quote a few sentences and comment them. That is what is called an original content.
Also, what do you think the initial author of the post will think about someone copying his/her work without permission and getting money out of it?
You don't realize that this kind of sharing is inevitable due to the fact that there lacks an integrated method of direct sharing. Some websites are censored to others, so I post the content with the link to allow more people access through this blockchain network.
Have a deeper think why you are actually on this medium, I am here for freedom of speech... I don't put a copyright stamp on what I share because what matters is that it is shared period. It is people with your mental programming that are part of the reason steemit was made.
Unflag it or ill flag everypost you do from here on.
Copy pasting can hurt steemit. Think a second about it. If the author goes to court, what will happen?
"Copy pasting can hurt steemit" explain this? because no one here on steemit is identifiable.
Except maybe the founders?
Look, if I'm doing the wrong thing here I want to see it stated in the terms and conditions of use, not from you.
Read steemcleaners blog below. Anyway, I do not want to fight. I am not here for that. I remove the flag but keep the comments.
Btw, it is a matter of legal stuff (check the law of the country where you live). Sharing is one thing, copy pasting an entire website is another thing. It is simply theft. Here you are not sharing. If you want to share, you could have written one or two paragraphs and give the link. In that case, I may have even upvoted you...
Note that I have not copy pasted an entire website but just used a few pictures (and I can use most of them btw).
