RE: IS STEALING OTHER PEOPLES WORK TO PASTE ON STEEMIT OK? I need your thoughts!
It's like when you sing a famous song on these pop star shows. The best way to do it, is to make it yours, the recipe might be the same but if you give it a little twist here and there it gets a more personal touch. In my example the guy copied 100% the recipe word for word. Copy and paste. I always have a story to tell when I post a recipe, my thought of the day, maybe the reason why I made the recipe. It's easy to give your work character and fun! :) Thanks for your reply, I'll be sure to follow!
I think the answer is simple...follow the copyright laws of where you live and also follow your conscience! I find good articles that I reference in Steemit. You can legally post a snippet and reference it with the source URL and add your own copy explaining it. Like Govegan says...make it your own. Your conscience should tell you to credit the original author too!
