@chainflix is accused of Plagiarism, while guilty of Copyright InfringementPlagiarism is a form of fraud, it lies to the audience about who deserves credit for work. Copyright infringement has no such fraud involved, and is an unjust law. It asserts that we are not allowed to copy information without the express permission of the original creator. It asserts ownership over information. We as a community should not be enforcing the state imposed concept of copyright onto members of the community. My upvotes are in defense of the right to share and copy information.
@chainflix is good for SteemThe core message and value of Blockchain is censorship resistance. Irremovable links on the blockchain to irremovable files on IPFS demonstrate a core use case of Steem, one which is valuable to millions of people around the world. We will have to fight this battle eventually, uncensorable streaming movies will bring literally millions of people to Steem, and help rally the public against censorship and for the tools that resist it.
Copyright was created to protect creators and ensure that they get rewarded for their work. Steem is already a better way to achieve that for creators, without having to impose upon the rights of the individual.
