Dtube is a great opportunity to publish and promote original content. So why are we allowing the uploading of copyrighted material that can only serve to hurt this platform?

Let's use DTube to promote some great quality original content......not to steal and profit from other people's work.

These copyrighted videos that are uploaded to DTube are harmful for the Steemit platform. They will ultimately get the attention of the wrong people.

We're all very against the idea of plagiarism here at Steemit.

Plagiarism is flagged and downvoted because we don't want our site to be full of thieves.

We have several systems in place such as Hive account@steemcleaners to deal with this sort of plagiarism on the Steemit site.

However, videos being posted on DTube are earning great rewards even though they are copyrighted.

Accounts are being made and are shown in the trending pages that claim they are going to start posting certain types of content that are absolutely illegal such as copyrighted cartoons.

These plagiarized movies and cartoons have already earned their respective uploaders more than $30 each.

We as a community are rewarding these plagiarizers when we should be punishing them.

"What if I like free movies?"

Yes we all love free stuff but these movies and TV shows could potentially do a lot of harm.

Let's stop this plagiarism idea in it's tracks. We don't need any lawyers and movie production companies sniffing around our backdoors by making sure that we are clean and producing quality original content.

We don't need to steal in order to have a great video site.
