As a community this has to be stopped. There are obviously lots of people here on Steemit who don't see it as a problem. I can see it happening that people will start downloading successful videos after their 7 day payout and reuploading them to leach rewards. Say for instance if all of Jerry Banfields videos were getting live payouts all the time. The site would become a big drain on steem.

So is there a solution? It seems like this is going to be an inherent part of this platform, which is unfortunate because as you said, once someone starts making money from piracy the US government will come down strong. I feel like the only solution would be to have the community agree that we should not be watching or voting for these videos that are blatantly copy right material. Any other solution would probably compromise the integrity of steem.

Ok... it's not fair to get popular vids on internet and publish to make money but it's a clever way to have a good account. Remember, if all of us are clever and honest there will not be any rich man between us.

Free market, right?  Those people who made those movies should get on dtube and put the movies up themselves.  Apparently, the market doesn't care.  They aren't claiming it's theirs, right?  Do they at least give credit?
  They're just providing a medium to watch, right?  Doesn't copyright only come from government?  Who wants that?  A post like this one is exactly what's needed to persuade the viewers not to watch,  right?  Isn't downvoting and negative reviews on the user the free market approach? instead of 'bringing down the hammer' on someone through some dtube ban or something?  Just thoughts.

hey guys bob here i don't want to see steemit/Dtube end up like megaupload let's all flag copyrighted work i found the profile thats uploading full movies please flag https://steemit.com/@movieworld2018

i'm against piracy. but i would upload my own videos.

That's one way to bring the law into your decentralized world.
 illegal is illegal.

Illegal and morally wrong...

I know that this is a super old post, but yeah there should be something to stop the uploading of full blown content that isn’t yours. But than again, that does defeats the purpose of “decentralized” but still lol 😝

Thanks for bringing this to light, @malekalmsaddi. I'm a filmmaker and under the opinion that as a community we should take copyright and intellectual property more seriously.

(downvoted) mind your own business, its up to the user to decide, go back to your communist youtube

Blatantly using someone else' content to promote yourself/brand is bad enough.  But to additionally make money from their content is truly reprehensible.  If they had ANY integrity, they would at least peel off some back to the original creators and credit the source.
I would hope that any of you reading this will "take the high road".  There is more than enough money to go around for providing good value and honest work.

anrky keep up and make a popcorn time steemit thingy. i support chainflix, we have made a blockcain steem and now pepol vant to sett restrictions,fuck the laws we make the rules here,wales dont get corporations pleas fellow steemians,anonymus and all wistle blovers,

Upload your own. Upvotes will go to whoever gets the best stuff the soonest.

I have actually taken upon myself to post in there comments to remind them that what they are doing is copyright infringement and its harming our community. This will take some serious action. I believe if we act now while its still in infancy we can stop these guys from uploading copyright material. They eventually will get the picture. We must be decisive and get the big guns involved its no use they all talk about it and do nothing simple truth if we love this community you'll protect this community @rogerblu

We must act:

Full 100% and resteemed :-)

I am in favour of your in this case, if these things continues some will file an infringement case and we will down to zero. It's better to take permission from the owners and post only content that are legally accepted(and/or copyright free) and have permission to share with others(Promotional Agencies).
