Copyrighted content: does steemit/d.tube have a way to deal with it?

in steemit •  7 years ago 

I was just messing around, and was surprised by the number of people who are already using copyrighted content to garner upvotes. Is there some mechanism to flag or remove the content?

Personally, I don't think it's possible to steal something that is infinitely reproducible. However, just like most people are convinced to pay an income tax despite no one having found any law to my knowledge (please inform me with citations if one has been found) that imposes such an obligation, I am worried that it will become a convenient excuse for entrenched interests to attack the platform on legal grounds.

I think this platform has a lot of promise and potential, would hate to see it get messed up because some lazy fools wanted a quick buck.
