YouTube's police ends up being the content producers or owners... The Movie Studios, the Record Labels, and the corporate entities who protect their stockholders' interests.
Steem could have one of these knock on our door someday. Will it be a Steemit, Inc. headquarters? Will it be on the noob's door? I don't know. Flaunt your wantonness around long enough, and you will get a little bill... except it won't be a Benjamin in your stocking... it will be a cease and desist.
But that's just an appeal to a parade of horribles.
The right thing to do is to clean up our act as much as possible... before Steem explodes and we get an influx of scamming noobs that scam. Or stealing baddies that steal. Or the trolling trolls that cut-and-paste.
