Thank you for writing out the rest of the idea for me. If BitShares complained about people "plagiarizing", STEEM wouldn't be here in the first place! Same thing with Litecoin: if the Bitcoin developers complained of "down right plagiarism" (most of which it was), Litecoin wouldn't exist. This is why BitShares and Bitcoin have all WELCOMED sharing--sorry, I mean, "plagiarism" with a touch of dishonesty :)

PLAGIARISM ON STEEMIT!! - STOP IT - WE WILL FLAG AND REPORT YOU!
I can't agree more
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.
