Thank you for owning up to it. I know you post your own videos and illustrations so I hope you continue to post your original stuff and be a valuable member of Steemit.
edit: It's ok to share other people's stuff (with consideration to copyright) as long as you're not explicitly or implicitly claiming as your own.
I think it's good to note, here and in general, that copyright and plagiarism don't always overlap. An old poem without a copyright could be plagiarized if you call it your own. And a shared photograph giving credit to the original author could be copyright infringement if they don't approve of its use. I'm sure you already knew this @pfunk. It was more for the general discussion on the two things that sometimes get linked together.
Right, thanks for making the distinction.
I will. I love steemit and I feel so bad for what i did. Can you guys please stop attackingg me? I could lose my job over something like this and realize how stupid I was. I am so sorry.
If the works are yours no one will attack. If you are inspired by a source share it, cite it, and they'll have nothing to attack you about. :)
I will. Thank you guys for still having me on here. I will turn this all around.
While I think its great that people are forgiving, as everyone deserves another chance, I find it much worse that someone who has already stollen so much through deliberate deception might now make more just like that.
The ONLY reason this confession and apology came to be is because of being PROVEN guilty. Not because of conscience or good faith.
This guy has a higher reputation than me, someone who feeds 40,000 free meals a year and is under constant public scrutiny. He has transfered Steem out of the system and spent it. Now he gets to ride that high reputation built upon deception to make more Steem and spend it.
As I said I think its awesome people here are so forgiving and I believe everyone deserves another chance but having such a high reputation after it was built on lies is very discouraging especially for someone like me.
