RE: HolySmoke! .. Steemit is about CREATING !!! siting the source is NOT enough if you didn't CREATE SOMETHING!!!

in #steem-help8 years ago

I'm starting to use this service to get rid of zero-effort posts that simply put up a photo and a single-line sentence.

I even would be slightly more lenient and let an attributed post slide here and there, but now I see it only encourages people to be mindless redirection linking bots.

I want more original content, and if steem cleaners can help do that, I'm all for it.

Sort:  

YARRRR !!!! Fight Piracy with Pirates !!! HolySmoke!

Steemcleaners needs to be done judiciously. Mindless redirection linking bots, while I don't agree with, are providing "value" to the network as per the whitepaper, they are providing curation of articles to those that follow them. As long as it is done within the rights granted via copyright and use laws granted to them by the content originator, then steemcleaners should ignore it.

referring to the whitepaper and social network value

Multi spam accounts bring zero "Social" Network value

spam accounts perform no discussion so real engagement

spam accounts spread generic posts to get comment rewards cluttering up well written articles and lessening value

referring to comments on reposting links see youtubes standard license fair use explanation

No. 3 The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole.
Borrowing small bits of material from an original work is more likely to be considered fair use than borrowing large portions. However, even a small taking may weigh against fair use in some situations if it constitutes the “heart” of the work.

speaks for itself

  1. The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work

Uses that harm the copyright owner’s ability to profit from his or her original work are less likely to be fair uses. Courts have sometimes made an exception under this factor in cases involving parodies.

reposting would harm the profits of creators because they've already used the product and paidthe poster hence losing that "sale".

Damn.... Bastards tried to ruin you... Don't lose Heart over this Friend; there are others "higher up" on here who will help you.. The higher the up vote . Steem power > more it will restore your Reputation.. .. filthy Spamming Basatrds !!! Damn them All to HeLL !!!
