RE: Welcome To The Steemit That Vote Buying Hath Wrought
"The people behind these movies will be delighted to hear that their trailer has been shared on a social media platform that they've probably never even heard of."
No. Wrong.
"In the case of a picture or image, you must first get permission from the owner of the image, unless the image is public domain. You should also attribute all images back to their original site (i.e. site you got the image from) and content creator/owner."
"Having an embedded youTube video on your online article or website is exactly like having an embedded image - thus permission must also be given from the owner of the youTube video."
"Having these sort of posts becoming even moderatly popular on steemit is good news for the site as a whole. It will attract more users and more users means more people using steem and more people posting content. "
No, and no. Stealing content without copyright that can be found much more easily at YT wil not bring people here.
"I'm definitely up for having reposted movie trailers in my feed."
I think you'd find Facebook more your speed.
This Deanbrown comment is a case study in the name of science, Lexi. Account gets created, first thing it does is follow you.... WOW.. i had no idea you were on the front cover of forbes or something, people are joining Steem just for you! (I'm a little jealous)
I suspect you have been ruffling some feathers with your recent posts a little too much and thus new sock puppets are needed to engage without repercussion.
From where I stand, if you are too afraid to express and opinion enough to create a new account just to do so. You don't deserve the privilege of being acknowledged.
