Before You Go About Copying And Pasting-: Why I Think You Should Not Plagiarize And How You Can Be Better

in busy •  7 years ago  (edited)

Great post my selfie friend. I wish more people would pay attention. As a professional photographer though, I would go one step further. Google is a search engine and not a source. The artist or the photographer is the source. Although so far the Steemit community is not quite sure how to handle this, my advice to everyone is is if you can't find the true source to determine if the image is copyright free, then you should not use it. Normally I don't Upvote posts that don't use their own work or work from one of the free sites as long as it is determined that the image is copyright free, but I made an exception for you. All the best to you! It was fun playing alongside you in the contest!

It took me just a few seconds to find out that the image has a Creative Commons license and that you may use it with the following credit line:

Photo credit: Simplebooklet.com

And you should copy this link too. Photo credit: Simplebooklet.com

I hope this helps. You should be able to edit it and give the proper attribution. Cheers! Have a great day!

Ooooo thanks for bringing this to my notice I really appreciate. I am not the type of person that claims what is not mine. I will edit it asap

I know you are not. 😊 That's why I didn't hesitate to mention it. It makes you look a lot more professional when you give the appropriate attribution. All the best!

Thanks God bless

God Bless you too! Glad I met you in the selfie contest!

I like the fact that you stayed Strong

And so did you. God gave us the strength. :-) I have just written a new post about image plagiarism if you are interested in checking it out.

I will surely do

We are on the same page. Let's clean up Steemit! :-)
