RE: One Week on Steemit and Already Finding My Content Plagiarized!
It would still remain on the Steem block chain, but they just wouldn't index it. From what I understand there is no way to actually delete something from Steemit due to the decentralized nature of the platform.
Keep in mind that DMCA's have to follow the rules outlined by law. Here's an article that better explains how DMCA's work, and it even provides a really good template to make things easier: https://sarafhawkins.com/how-to-file-dmca-takedown/
Thanks for the link. This looks like real serious stuff. If i do a report would it not affect Steemit being taken down or just the post itself? I read it but that's the impression I got.
Filing a DMCA to Steemit will not negatively affect the platform, no. Its totally fine to do so. The other option is to report the abuse to the Steemcleaners account here, they can also take action against copyright infringement. I plan on using Steemcleaners moving forward. They downvote and publicly shame those who cheat.
Oh I see. Alright, thanks!
I did report to Steemcleaners but I think they have a 4 day backlog based on their post update...
Yeah, I imagine they get a lot of complaints about copyright related issues. It makes sense it would take them some time to respond.
