RE: IS STEALING OTHER PEOPLES WORK TO PASTE ON STEEMIT OK? I need your thoughts!

in #vegan7 years ago

Thank you this post, i agree with you on everything except when you criticize others for taking other peoples recipes. How else do you learn in cooking if you don't follow recipes. Of course the problem comes when you take a recipe and like you said a put a picture up that is not yours.

Atleast give the recipe a try and take a picture of your version of it but i guess some people just want an easy buck. I hope they do find out the hard way a few years down the line.

Again thanks for the post i will follow as i really want to stop eating meat. :) Peace and love! If you can follow back i will post food post in the near future!

It's like when you sing a famous song on these pop star shows. The best way to do it, is to make it yours, the recipe might be the same but if you give it a little twist here and there it gets a more personal touch. In my example the guy copied 100% the recipe word for word. Copy and paste. I always have a story to tell when I post a recipe, my thought of the day, maybe the reason why I made the recipe. It's easy to give your work character and fun! :) Thanks for your reply, I'll be sure to follow!

I think the answer is simple...follow the copyright laws of where you live and also follow your conscience! I find good articles that I reference in Steemit. You can legally post a snippet and reference it with the source URL and add your own copy explaining it. Like Govegan says...make it your own. Your conscience should tell you to credit the original author too!
