Well I had lots of my original Photography stolen and posted on Weku .... and nobody did anything about it. Nothing worse than seeing some criminal steal your work and make $$$ From it.
I can’t remember exactly.... it was a WEkU whale.... one of the founders I think because when I confronted them I got banned from Weku. They stole all my photos from the Rideau River. They made thousands of $$$ selling their Weku for Steem back when Steem was $6
Well it sounds like someone stole your actual photos right? That's one thing. That is for sure plagiarism under any definition. But if someone painted one of your photos, you might not like it, and I get that, but it's not plagiarism or theft. If I paint a house did I plagiarize the architect? If I paint a car did I plagiarize the car designer? When you jump mediums like that you're creating a new and unique work that has value in and of itself.
Lots of artwork is inspired by other sources. Something being inspired by something is a lot different from theft.
If my profession is a Photographer.... and I get paid for my professional photographs of things.... and someone takes one of my photographs that i consider to be an artistic composition like a painting and then they go on to make a painting from my professional photograph and then they post that painting somewhere without a reference to my professional photo and they go on to make $$$ from their work and I make nothing from my original photograph .... then we have a big problem. I was taught this very valuable lesson here on Hive.
