RE: TTR - Duplicitous Duplicator Dithers Deceitfully
Like you said, if they were "cool" with it then we'd see a direct endorsement. I haven't seen anything like that, either on their site or via a registered and verified user here.
My guess is you'll get a response that equates to "we're really busy, what do you expect us to do", which doesn't mean it is permitted, only that they have multiple irons in the fire and can't personally tend to every parasitic outbreak.
Its sad, because by encouraging users like this to run roughshod over the ethos of Steemit, it only means the eventual death of the platform.
Even if they are busy and disprove I hope they would say something unequivocally disapproving like "This account is in no way represents our is connected to Zero Hedge and the practice of reposting our content without permission is a violation of copyright law." And to further put words into their mouth I'd hope they would say "We would appreciate the assistance of the Steemit community in any and every way to remove the existing infringing material from public view and to prevent further profiteering from our and or authors copyrighted material. Please feel free to circulate this statement and request to all concerned. Yours Zero Hedge".
Something like that.
