Ok I don't usually get mad, but I am mad today!
I have made a video about PLAGIARISM and stealing other people's content BUT same people who commented saying they agree are DOING IT!!!
I am a FOOD Blogger! I work my ass off to create a recipe, to write it, to film it , to edit it and to take loads of pictures!! THIS TAKES LONG TIME! All the food bloggers who work hard, do the same.
Now for OTHERS to then go and STEAL YOUR WORK and pretend its YOURS really makes me mad. ASK any real food blogger how long on average it TAKES to write a RECIPE and take ORIGINAL PICTURES!
I will be calling you out if you do this! I will show you how I caught @totalgyan stealing work. Worst part about this is that he LIED! So it made me question and THEN I spoke to @demotruk about it! There is is a website you can use to search for revere images and where they come from. So any stolen work will always appear in google.
Check the conversation here:
If you are PLANNING on stealing work - YOU WILL BE FOUND - I WILL REPORT YOU and you will be taken off the platform.
RECIPE HE POSTED AS HIS
RECIPE ON THE WEBSITE :
Taken from here: https://www.philadelphia.co.uk/Recipes/White-Chocolate-Raspberry-Cheesecake?r=51
I am not a bitch, I am helping the platform and protecting it from LAZY PEOPLE who cant DO WORK and want easy money. His post is NOW hidden and he will not get paid and will lose his reputation.
Looks like ALL HIS FOOD posts are STOLEN!
If you SPOT PLAGIARISM and see someone is copying ANY ARTICLES report them with PROOF to @steemcleaners - YOU WILL GET PAID FOR IT!!
you will get MONEY for reporting scammers.
Good on you Alla. You should get mad! It's a big issue, and it's not something that the community should give a free pass to. I'm glad you're helping to get the word out to your followers! :)
Now to plug @steemcleaners:
If people aren't convinced this is a huge issue, consider that Alla found 1 case of plagiarism.
This one will cozy itself next to a bunch of others on the next @steemcleaners log... next to 127 others, or maybe on the @cheetah log with 338 others.
Those are logs for ONE DAY.
Plagiarism is at an all time high, and we absolutely can use all the help we can get.
If you find plagiarism, please report it in steemit.chat in the room #steemcleaners-linkdrop.
For discussion of general abuse, head to #steemitabuse.
And finally if you want to talk meta about @steemcleaners itself, head to #steemcleaners-public.
And Alla is completely correct: WE PAY YOU TO REPORT ABUSE! If you upvote the @steemcleaners logs, ALL of that reward is distributed out to anyone who helps. Want a piece of that reward? Go help!
Okay, done my plug.

Thanks for your post @allasyummyfood
Fully support @cheetah and @steemcleaners. Both projects are providing a great service to the people in the SteemIt community. I will always flag articles that are plagiarized. And, any time I see a @cheetah post, I will check the link and comment about whether or not I think it is plagiarism.

Although I think the @cheetah comment is usefull, some of the channels I followed on YouTube/Twitter/Facebook or on their own website get this notification if they post their stuff here on Steemit.
Does that mean they get on the knotty-list?

@cheetah is a bot that only notifies that the content has been found somewhere else and it always includes a link to the content.
If they're reposting their own stuff, then they own the copyright. So, nothing to worry about. But, if they've outright stolen someone else's content as this article talks about, then there's a much higher possibility that they'll get noticed, flagged, listed on the @steemcleaners report, and become liable for a DCMA violation and/or a cease and desist order from the person (or group) whose work they stole.

Well, if it is your own post and you own the rights to it I don't see any reason why you can't repost it (unless it is against Steemit TOS), having duplicate content (even if your own) can hurt you in search results though.

In academia, that would still be self-plagiarism, so I personally wouldn't do that unless there is value added to it - maybe it is a different take on the same issue, some improvement to the initial idea presented, or something like that. Even then I wouldn't just put up the original post in quotes with an extra comment below. I would re-write and reformulate it.
And personally, I don't think considering something undervalued is a good argument for posting it again - it is a community decision, and how much you earn is what the community thinks you deserve to earn from it.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Oh, I agree with you on those points. I wouldn't repost the same thing either. I just meant I don't think there's anything legally that would stop him from publishing his own work again unless it is against Steemit ToS. If the user owns the rights then they are free to decide when/how to publish their IP.
But yeah, if you think the topic was undervalued or your article just didn't get the traction you thought, I would try to rewrite it from a different angle. Sometimes the internet is just odd though, things that you think are small go viral and things you think are going to be big never go anywhere. Such is life :).

That's not the point. Post ORIGINAL content and you won't have an issue. Posting other peoples content is stealing and doesn't help the community. The community grows with NEW ORIGINAL content.

It isn't plagiarism if you put your own twist on a recipe or whatever, or if you state your sources (I.e. Give credit where credit is due). It is plagiarism if you copy someone's work word for word, or their photo, and then repost it as your own.

Is there a means to do that here? Even when the content doesn't originate here? Can I put on a disclaimer and note the original work to its owner?

You can highlight other people's work in your posts, but not copy it. Any time you reference someone else's original content, cite the source. It's not all that different than writing a paper for school, and there's nothing wrong with incorporating cited sources that support what you're blogging about. It takes a minute, but once you break the "retweet" and "share on Facebook" habits we've all gotten accustomed to, you'll do fine. Oh, and welcome to Steemit!

@lances, I am a philosopher like Stefan Molyneux, and I speak from a theoretical and hypothetical perspective, most of the time, but I make references, applications, illustrations, and I try to connect ideas with situations that people can understand and relate to that is less vague and less abstract. I love abstract but many people allegedly don't. So, I make it a priority to find examples to help teach my religion of philosophy or what have you.
.
Within communism, government gets bigger and they begin to tell you what you are and are not allowed to say. Democrats and the left are doing this all over Europe and America more so in 2017, this year, than ever before. They tell you something is hate speech. Sometimes, something is plagiarism and sometimes maybe not. But you need smart enough judges to determine these cases. Both sides can think they're right in some cases. It becomes very difficult at times to facilitate cases. Sometimes, one person can say that the other plagiarized them. But that other person can accuse the first of the same thing. In those cases, it can be very hard to know who stole from who.
.
Facebook, Twitter, Google, YouTube, Reddit, and other social network websites will often decide what their rules are and that is fine.
.
But they will often say you have the freedom of speech and they allow people from ISIS to say things and then when other people leave a comment about the bad things some terrorists do, then the good people are taken to real jail in real life and their accounts are terminated. In Europe, the new people are coming in each day and they rape and steal and murder. When European citizens talk about it, police take them to jail in many cases. So, long story short, when I talk about communism, I am talking about Facebook, Europe, China, and especially about censorship.
.
Plagiarism is bad but sometimes alleged plagiarism becomes censorship because a website or government can say something was stolen and that something was plagiarized and that is sometimes not true. But then people become sheep and zombie Walkers from The Walking Dead and they begin to accept too much and too often and then things get worse so through acceleration, accumulation, and momentum.

Thank you for expanding on the idea. The brevity of the original comment occluded its intention and unfortunately came across troll-ish.
To your further explanation, I would suggest that a missing element as we evaluate the line between plagiarism and censorship is the degree of trust extended to claiming parties. Having reviewed the evidence behind Alla's "allegation" and having done the same for her existing body of work, my conclusion (and admonition to the community) was explicitly to call out the value and benefit to a community of reasonably ensuring content creators are truly the creators of their content. To falsely claim creativity that was not yours is at best disingenuous and at worst a violation of trust, regardless of its "legality".
The strength of Steemit, in this instance, lies in the decentralization of evaluation of trust, which by its nature deters the censorship cited in your commentary.

the whole idea that blockchain (i.e. the technology that steemit runs on) is based on is freedom and sharing and making things public and not caring about people taking advantage of others work and building something new on top of that work. this how BitShares ans Steemit were created in the first place if not for the ingenuity and generosity of the Bitcoin creator (Satoshi Nakamoto) steemit wouldn't even exist.
you can argue that no one ever did anything by himself, we all do things based on others work and others knowledge but it is so sad that MOST of the people cannot understand this specially the ones who benefit from it the most.

With the large number of posts it is becoming quite a task to weed out plagiarism. Unfortunately as word of mouth start to spread I am afraid Steemit will start to be abused as a way to make easy money.
Flagging a post for plagiarism is a start when they are caught but what about the many others who are not and walks away depleting the reward pool for all.
I am sure the Steemit team is actively working on this problem to more easily detect cases of plagiarism more efficiently and hopefully a solution can be found before Steemit explodes on the scene.

Dear totalgyan,
Your reputation is now at 13 because you are lying to the Steemit community and plagiarizing other people's work. Steemit does not tolerate stealing artwork and photos from others, lying and providing zero value.
This is your warning. I could easily drop your reputation into negative zone, which would mean that your future posts (all of them) would be most invisible.
You have a choice: tell us the truth or be cast into the Steemit dungeon.
The choice is yours. I will be looking to see what you do.
If you continue to steal, lie and cheat, I will have no choice but to flag you into the Steemit dungeon.

Plagiarism isn't covered under freedom of speech because it is THEFT. It's that simple. Any true artist/writer/content producer with a brain in their head would understand that when you STEAL somebody's work and then call it your own, you are a fraud. If producing their own ORIGINAL content is too much like hard work then perhaps that person needs to find a job that's not so hard for them to handle.

How do you mean? When someone uses someone else's content without its source, it is plagiarism and thus theft.

You are completely justified in being angry with this. I too am a victim of plagiarism and it is so soul destroying.
For me it is about a story I've been writing for my wife when she under went a cancer operation in Dec 2012. I started writing a story Union of the Wolf. It's based along the TES game Skyrim.
I have recently found out that a Steemit member Uceph has copied and pasted 28 of my chapters here.
https://steemit.com/@uceph
My work was never about money. It was about helping my wife through several years of cancer and treatments. Like you however, I have put in hours/weeks and years of work into my story just as you have with your projects. I have now written over 350 chapters and my word count is in excess of 1, 250,000. To have someone come along and steal them is so damaging to people like us.
Don't think yourself a bitch or anything because you are standing up for your work. You are a victim here not those who steal and rob us of our comments, praise and hours of hard grinding work which we commit to.

Indeed, I have been writing online for almost seven years now and it is really disheartening to see others taking my work and putting it on their own site to try and make money off ads. Sometimes the stories will go up on scraping sites in minutes and unfortunately there is not much one can realistically do about it since many of these sites are hosting and run overseas where DCMA claims are a crapshoot and even if the host does comply it just pops up somewhere else. Google has been getting better about pushing these duplicate results down or even hiding them from search results but it is still sad to see. One neat thing about Steemit is that it's more of a closed platform and it might be easier to reign in IP theft by having the community as a whole curating the content (as opposed to or in addition to automated algorithms) and, as you mentioned, rewarding the reporting of these shady posters that claim others' content as their own.

@clixmoney still you didn't answer me when i said your posts are full of pictures that aren't yours and you didnt put any source
I think not having any post doesn't mean I am wrong and I think it is better to not have posts than to have posts full of others pictures and then tell people to not copy while you are doing the same thing.
and you finally decide to mute me just because you don't have any answer, this shows how hypocrites people are

@clixmoney, in college, some professors accuse students of plagiarism and copying and stealing and in some cases those students did not commit plagiarism and that is the tricky part
.
In other cases, parts of an essay or speech may be partly the same like on how they compared the speeches of Michelle Obama with Melania Trump. Obama actually stole it from other people or partly. Sometimes, we may steal bits and pieces of something from other people. It is a very complex debate and issue that goes deeper than most people even know or could imagine. It is not a simple yes or no of did you plagiarized or not. It is more a question of the level of how similar something might be when compared to other things like it. The copyright world is full of these complex cases. They write books about these things.
We are entering deep waters.

Copying and pasting photos and claiming them as your own is not ambiguous. There is no grey area there. The evidence in this case is quite clear.
You are right that abusers can accuse people falsely, and that is abuse. The truth lies with the evidence. In this case it's fairly strongly on Alla's side.

With the number of posts that are published every day, there is bound to be some that will have plagiarism. However, most of them don't receive any upvotes, so they get buried. Still, it would be nice to see something implemented in the future which blocks you from publishing if there is some copyrighted content in your post.

The gifs I used are directly from Giphy and literally intended for public use. I also added contextual content of my own, making it not plagiarism. This is not a difficult concept, and if you're interested in learning more, you can check out the community standards regarding plagiarism on @steemcleaners
I just scrolled through my posts to find any unoriginal photos. There are none, except the ones from wizards of the coast's website, which are under the social media "extra resources" that they publish specifically for people to use when they're writing about Magic: the Gathering. I am in full compliance with the plagiarism policies.
Furthermore, the issue here wasn't the graphics, it was the copypasta and not citing the source.

The pictures I used from WotC are public domain and specifically created for use in social media without need to cite the source. They're "social media banners", and anyone can use them.
In contrast, even though I have the right to use our podcast logo, I still credit the artist in those posts. Every other photograph I have used is absolutely my own content.

Since you're new, maybe you don't realize that trolling is a flaggable offense. You're not doing yourself any favors by being obtuse in the comments.
ALL of my posts have original content. They're not copy paste. I didn't take someone's content and change a few words. They're my original thoughts. Helene's photo is literally a publicity photo. The other picture you posted is, like I said earlier, available for anyone to use and listed as such on the Wizards of the Coast page. I'm basically giving their brand free advertising, which is exactly why they make the key art available for these purposes.
As for social media profile pictures: those are not in the public domain. You technically have to ask for permission to use them. And making minor changes to someone else's content does not mean you aren't plagiarizing.
I don't know what you're trying to accomplish here, but you'd likely find more success on this platform if you made an introduceyourself post, add a picture, and start creating content instead of acting like people who are actually stealing intellectual property aren't doing anything wrong.

thank you for your reply but I am not being obtuse and I have some questions to ask and please don't give me general answers
you said "Since you're new, maybe you don't realize that trolling is a flaggable offense" can you support your statement with any proof?
and you still didn't answer me when I asked you to tell me wich pictures or gifs you add contextual content of your own because you said you did
and moreover in the last comment you are talking about "making minor changes to someone else's content does not mean you aren't plagiarizing" which contradicts what you said previously "I also added contextual content of my own, making it not plagiarism" and how can we determine what is minor changes because it is a bit relative
lastely thank you for your advice and don't take my words personally because i am neither with plagiarisn nor against it and what I am trying to accomplish here is I don't want people to do the same mistakes again and again by putting more and more rules to work in their favor and their interests (I think bitcoin and the cryptocurrency and the blockchain technologies were created just as a result of what bankers and people in control did and we are repeating that same error)

You can always search using quotes, lines of text on google and check if that specific word combination is already indexed by the search engine. For example after this post will get indexed or any other content around the web we can copy and paste a line like "Ok I don't usually get mad, but I am mad today! " and see where it was indexed first. Spotting plagiarism is easy these days. The same can be done with images too, you do not need a specific website for that matter. If you see a result from a certain website with the searched description with bold letters, you found the culprit.

I'm also tired of seeing people earn more than I do by plagiarizing something and usually even posting a link to where they plagiarized it from... I think it is a misunderstanding about what they can do and what not, but I don't know what to do about it. My reputation is so low that I think flagging won't do anything. When I have higher reputation I'll start flagging people who do this.
It is a big problem here. I think every third article has plagiarism in it. I don't mind if someone does it by accident, of course that is also bad for the content creator, but c'mon who seriously thinks they can just copy paste someone elses work and it is ok? At least write something of your own and not just copy paste.
Would be nice if something was to be done so that anyone could have an affect on plagiarism here, to weed it out.
