We Need A Consensus On How To Credit Photos & Quotes Easily
I know some people like to cite photos underneath, some on, and some at the end. As long as people see credit being given where it should be I think that's good. Not everyone knows how to add links or shorten them. A lot do, but I think if you use a lot of different photos from other sources there should be a way to easily attach where it is from. Some sort of metadata that is embedded (if that does not exist already).
I don't think people are trying to take credit for photos that are clearly not theirs, but as a community if someone doesn't cite a pic should they be called out or not receive reward (that would be a bit extreme, but i do see the possibility of lawsuits). If I were to make a post that earned $5,000 and I used a photo without crediting the author, would they be entitled to a slice of that pie. Nobody is going to get bent out of shape over a dollar post, but I'd rather have something set that people can easily use when they are posting pictures, long quotes, videos etc that is not theirs.
I have no real fair rights usage knowledge outside of a class in college so I'm not sure exactly how to approach everything so I thought I'd bring it up to the community as a whole and maybe it can be discussed further in some way.

agreed, people definitely need to be given credit some how. I am surprised when I sometimes see some of the top posters here on steemit not crediting their sources. I also agree it would help if their was a mechanic in the system that helped make it easier to cite sources, It takes me a surprising amount of time to cite all of my sources with each article I write.
Yeah I think they should be called out. Yeah I think should earn their "slice of the pie".
Neither do I, but this should be approached as more of a morality thing that we should address and then the legal aspect will also be fixed at the same time.
