RE: Steemcleaner Report for the Week of Sept 12, 2016 - Sept 18, 2016 Part 1

Great work and excellent report.

Question, what is the stance on reposting curated lists of other photographers images by a specific topic?

I ask because I run a photo community and personally curate collections of photos which I'd like to share on Steemit some time to promote the community, and the excellent photographers there, as well as interesting collections of images.

But, I've also already seen some people on Steemit who are reposting "listicle" style photo galleries without much attribution to the photographers other than a link to the shady clickbait site where the images were previously posted.

TL;DR - one is a collection personally curated by a Steemit user with full attribution to the original posts form the photographers, vs. re-posting something someone else curated on some other site with little attribution.

Sort:  

I think that will depend on how it is done. In the past, the only way to curate wasn't very attractive when we could not post inline photos with text. Many were posting full sized works which is not "fair use" in my opinion.

Also, since it is a community your apart of it would be good to have the permission of the creator to post their works here. If the community you're posting from has a website with user profiles and such it would be easy enough to have them say something along the lines of "find some of my work featured by dreamstream on steemit.com."

I'd ask others how they feel about using the #photography tag for this. You could probably get the opinions of those in the photography chatroom on steemit.chat on how they feel about this.
