https://steemit.com/faq.html#What_is_considered_spam_or_abuse
Almost every time I see an unsourced image, or an image from a site I'm pretty sure protects their copyrights, I try to locate a source and any relevant copyright terms. Almost every such site has a Terms of Use page or something similar. Your Steemit account is a commercial page. Therefore you must respect copyright terms.
If an image is CC0 or free-to-use, such as all the ones on https://pixabay.com or https://www.pexels.com, you may use them freely including commercial use without attribution, though it is still a good policy to source your images partly so people like me can use that time more productively and partly because it is still someone else's content and it's the honorable thing to do to send traffic to its source.

Regarding abuse:
Most of us have relatively finite vote power. And our only advantage against concentrations of power - in this case Steem Power delegations, spam, plagiarism, and irresponsible (at best) upvoting and downvoting - is our numbers. Those of us who help the helpers appreciate support from those helpers. My general feeling about it though ... it be like:
(Hence why I declined payout for this post, as Blazing Saddles is a copyrighted film. Or, see what I did thurr?)
I invite everyone to write an educational post regarding plagiarism, spam, abuse, etc., specifically regarding Steem and Steemit.

"our Steemit account is a commercial page. Therefore you must respect copyright terms."
LMAO
Dear @ancapbarbie There is not such a thing as a Steemit account,
there are steem accounts and then there are interfaces to the chain, like steemit, busy, etc.
Also, you are are confounding plagiarism and copyright law,
the fight against plagiarism in this platform has nothing to do with copyright law.
"Most of us have relatively finite vote power"????????????
Sheez
Do you even understand what the word finite means?
Please get a clue.

I only understood what you mean when I read this:
Of course it's relatively finite to... to... uh....
It should be "relatively limited" I know this isn't much better term, but small accounts ARE limited in voting to bigger accounts.

No. That's a victim mentality. You corrected your fuck-up. You didn't do the right thing. Especially when you retaliated for my flagging only the post in which I was recorded.
It's a lot easier for both of us if you don't be a dick. Capiche?

Im afraid not, first you would have to know hyper-basic things as the difference between Steemit and Steem.

Poor little walden are you still having issues following the narrative? There were three subjects in this post of which copyright was one. I know how allergic to the copyright clauses you are as it is your preferred mode of action to break these laws all the time. Also do you expect a gold sticker for understanding the difference between the interface and the actual account ? I mean i know it is had being so uneducated and mentally deficient so anything you can retain must seem like the greatest achievement ever, but try to concentrate a bit please. I know it is hard but blurting out irrelevant facts, even if they are correct, because you are struggling to understand the actual discussion just really makes you look even more pitiful than before. I mean it's your party I find it entertaining to see how much further you can debase yourself , how much more of an embarrassment to your parents you can become. So by all means please carry on and amuse me :D

It is very important we correctly source images and videos used in posts, and ensure that nothing we are using is copyrighted in any way.
Abuse of power will always be a problem, but I think through education and encouragement it should be possible to keep everyone the right track.

Well, I try to source my images (not always directing to the actual links, but always mentioning where) unless I forgot, so hopefully this is a step closer to posts that don't infiltrate copyrights.
