This is an issue that Steem may very well have to contend with in the near future. Especially, as the adoption of the platform is taken by the masses. However if Reddit was able to overcome its legality issues in regard to copywritten images, I don't see why Steem can't.
It's so interesting how many issues this platform is exposing. I think for the most part all of these issues will be resolved, but also, it will allow similar business models to grow and offer rewards as Steem does
What a time to be alive.
Youtube profits from copyright material all the time. Also STEEM isnt real money and the government doesnt recognize it.
What the government recognizes or not doesn't necessarily = what ends up in your wallet.
Im just saying. Keep it where it is and you be fine. Thats why you dont see people cashing in their Monopoly money.
Monopoly money would be worth something if you can convince a population of it.
