I still don't understand this whole "being a whale" thing, but I think those in power also have a responsibility to know how they should look or behave in a given environment, not to make decisions or offer opinions based solely on their own judgment, but rather on the collective good.
The issue of plagiarism is complex. If someone edits a video and adds their own reaction, it ceases to belong to the original owner and becomes a new video. The same goes for novels that draw inspiration from others to develop new ideas.
This is not true at all. If you upload a video in its entirety, without meaningful or highly transformative commentary. You would be doing copyright infringement. And it doesn't ceases to belong to the original owner. That is not how intellectual property works.
I agree with you on this.
But this is a prime example of what I was referring to.
Cultural norms plays a huge role in what people think is ok to use or not ok.
HIVE should probably try to have a standard on plagiarism. Will we ever have consensus? No
But if someone copied my post and then wrote a commentary about it I would be inclined to downvote it.
Mainly because the real answer on HIVE would be to leave a comment under my post vs copy the content.
No one has done this to me yet but I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens one day.
I agree. But when it comes to law, "I though it was ok" is not really a good defense. In fact, it is a terrible defense lol
I was just correcting it from a law standpoint.
100%. People get sued or demonetized on YouTube all the time for doing it so it is clearly not “ok” 🤣
I appreciate you coming in and sharing your perspective.
It makes these conversations more valuable in my opinion.
This is an easy thing to write down but impossible to follow through on. HIVE is global. There is literally no way for me to know what is actually the "collective good."
The best I can do is try to do what is best for the collective good while being honest that I am a person so my interpretation will be subjective
