RE: Blacklist?!?! Is The Steemit Platform Becoming A “Muppet Show?”
@themarkymark is no more or less a scammer, spammer or plagorizer than I -- in regards to fair use posting of content on monetized platforms. Milking the system with his bot however, might be another matter. I'm no legal professional and not going to claim to be. But I love asking lots of questions. Especially to people who have answers for me. Its how I learn.
There are only a few game developers and publishers which are not ok with ppl streaming their games, like nintendo for example and they have their own ppl showing streams.
@dera123 I agree and thats exactly my point. No copyright holders care if people make memes, either. Happens all the time and how many of them complain? None. There are memes floating all around Facebook and if copyright holders took issue with it, could they submit a DMCA takedown? Of course they could. Could they demand that Facebook outlaw fair use memes? Of course they could. But do they? No. You know why? Because memes fall under the category of COMMENTARY which is LEGAL.
So I've done nothing more or less "wrong" than @themarkymark
I also upload both original content and memes to my deviantART account. No one ever gets DMCA takedowns about memes and yes they do have a DMCA system and yes deviantART takes copyright infringement VERY SERIOUSLY. They also take FAIR USE very seriously, as well.
So my point was simply that though you made a creative attempt to twist the context, it failed. So nice try. I applaud your efforts. And feel free to check out my profile sometime if you wish: https://paradigm-shifting.deviantart.com
@themarkymark also tried to tell me that my own deviantART profile "belongs to some other person" and that I "stole from it".
I swear some people just aren't happy unless they just aren't happy. :)
All of this as been quite entertaining and stimulating for me. Looking forward to discovering what the conclusion to all of this is going to be. I am quite fascinated. Especially when it comes to narcissism. Such a simultaneously disturbing and intriguing aspect of humanity.
How should themarkymark know that it's your deviantart page? There are so many ppl stealing from all possible sources. Put sth on deviantart that states that it's yours bc your names here and there aren't the same.
And most comments are for michaellamden68 who isn't just using some memes for fun or sth. he posts porn pictures and states that they are not his and also uses bots to upvote them and that is for sure against the TOS of some of these bots.
One big problem on Steem is that it's all mostly based on online written words and because of that there are a lot of misunderstandings.
For example, I don't think that you are a fan of ppl stealing the work of others and it's the same for @themarkymark who blacklists many of these ppl. Both of you want to have a nice and peacefull community here (at least I hope so haha) but still there was a misunderstanding and bam here we are.
