The violation comes from the fact that you think you can use the free content as the SOLE CONTENT for getting paid.

Nobody cares if you use them as supplements to your blog posts or whatever. But, you were trying to pass them off as is. Do you think the thousands of Steemians haven't tried this before?

It's scummy and bullshit to take a free to use image and then bid them. That's not how they are meant to be used.

Either you start using them as the support they are meant to be or don't use them as the sole content.

It's only a matter of time before bigger flags come visit you if you keep this up.
