COPYING/STEALING/PLAGIARIZING

in steemit •  7 years ago 

It's my fourth day or fifth (I already forgot LOL) on steemit...

I've come across all kinds of content by now. To be honest, I don't understand almost anything about all the technical jargon that's trending on steemit. That's my problem though. If I want to take the time and effort to understand it, I will.

That's not the point of this post. The point is that I've come across a lot of copied, stolen, plagiarized content on steemit. Often, sources are not being cited.

To my knowledge, this should not be acceptable. I've flagged these posts and informed the poster that what they're doing is wrong, but are they wrong?

Is it okay to just copy content on steemit?

Thoughts?

What do you guys think?
