RE: Intellectual Consensus on Original Works

in Project HOPE5 years ago

Sharing images is murky here on the blockchain as you are essentially monetizing all of your work.

A GIF shared on Facebook or other centralized social media account puts the burden of monitoring on those who own the platform. Platforms like Pinterest often remove images for this reason.

Also, with memes and the layering of images and words, who owns the work?

I tend to believe that the best way to share images, for those of us who use our writing and blogs as a craft, as opposed to those of us who do it for mere token collection is to always link back to the source where you got your image, and lean towards images which are public domain or gathered from places like unsplash.

For those who are just posting to earn tokens, are they setting us token holders for failure due to their poor backlinking?

Just yesterday I used a google image, which I linked back to the original source, because I was mentioning the movie that the image was from, is that "wrong?" I don't think so. It was linked...

There is a news reporting aspect. I'd say that's where your movie review would fall into. I think it gets murky when a link magically transforms into an image. Seems to me that the only recourse would be to ban link sharing altogether.
