RE: Anyx, Cheetah, and Steemcleaners; witness update - 05-11-2016
Thanks for the reply. I am a fan of Cheetah. So no problem there.
We agree to dis-agree about reposted content. Without reposted content Shakspeare would never have become so popular. Or The Beatles songs would never get heard again.
Any out of print book/song that is reprinted/replayed in the original Authors name is technically reposted content. If it is still in the original Authors name and it is being reposted to a new generation of fans/public it should be allowed to have it's day in the sun.
Again this is not an argument. It's just a fact of life;D~
It's less about the act of reposting, but more so about the monetized reward of reposting content.
If you can repost your content (or someone else's content) and get paid for it at the same rate as putting effort into new content, should you? Why not do it twice and get twice the reward? Why not do it every day? Why not everyone do it every day? It's a slippery slope in my mind.
Sharing content I believe is fundamentally different to reposting content. We need to be cautious about the reward, not the action. People who "reposted" shakespeares content did not sell it to the same purchasers over and over. And they certainly did not claim to be shakespeare when they sold it to the purchasers, and pocket the reward. They shared the work, usually for free.
