Everyone says that it was not right that some were excluded from the Airdrop, but nobody does anything about it. Starting a new chain with a blacklist is not good. I have chosen the Sun Witnesses and I stand by the decision. I thought the sun was good for the Steem. Now you can burn me at the stake.
No one is burning anyone at the stake. The people who didn't like what happened on Steem moved to Hive. Anyone who is happy with what is happening can stay on Steem. That's the beauty of this. People can choose which platform they prefer and no one is forced to go anywhere.
I see the HIVE coins I didn't get as compensation for copying my contributions and private pictures to another platform without being asked. Like many others I did not give my consent to this. But through a class action lawsuit you will surely get compensation for this copyright infringement.
I doubt it as it's still your content and your ownership. Nobody will be making anything from those posts except for you so i can't see where the case would come from.
There is an application process as far as i know to apply for a hive balance for anybody excluded in the initial airdrop so hopefully you will be able to claim some that way.
There were pictures, texts and videos of me, some of which were only created for the Steem platform, published on another platform without my permission. It must be clarified which right is valid here and who is liable for it. I am curious myself how this will end. The whole thing must also be known. Maybe this will have an impact on the course.
It does make for an interesting example. Without knowing copy-write laws I would argue that you still own the content on the other platform they are posted under you account which you have access to and will gain any rewards on them.
It is also still STEEM just a breakaway from the main chain into a new direction but everything existing on hive already is actually STEEM until now with rewards payed out on it. The same a viewing your content on busy.org or any of the other STEEM interfaces where STEEM blockchain can be accessed. Everything posted now is HIVE and your content won't be showing up on the chain going forward.
I can also see where you are coming from but don't know how strong an argument that is. It would be interesting to find out how it works as i'm not sure myself.
