If someone edits a video and adds their own reaction, it ceases to belong to the original owner and becomes a new video.
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.
