This is original content, written in my words using only information I found about the topic which is kin cryptocurrency in this case.
Some images were captured from my screen off of the website, is that okay?
Thank you for letting me know because we make money with this content, next time I will source my images.
Well, there is not a big difference between downloading the image from another website to upload it on Steemit post and taking the screenshot of the image (content) to upload it here.
In both cases, the original belongs to its author who holds the copyrights and all other rights and maybe is not willing to give his/her work for some re-usage purposes free of charge and especially not for commercial purposes.
Therefore, we should check if the content we want to use from elsewhere is free to use (re-use) and if it is under which license or conditions, meaning what kind of attribution is required, etc.
Most websites out there protect their content. This could be the easiest and fastest seen (usually in the footer, at the bottom of their pages) where you may find something like this: "Copyright © 2018," or "Copyright © 2010 - 2018," or just "© domain name," "© company name," and similar.
That would be one of the first most common indicators that the whole content on a particular domain is protected. If there are some exceptions, it would be usually stated in the TOS of the site where the site owners describe what the exceptions are or might be and when and how we can use a certain portion of their content and under which conditions.
If this is not clarified, mainly we are not allowed to use anything.
Hope this would answer your question, and clarify how to handle with the copyrights (in general) a bit more. 🙂
