RE: SteemTube: Youtube Version of Steemit
What happens if people use IPFS to host content that is copyrighted and then use links on STEEM?

You might want to write a separate blog on Blockchains & Copyrights and post it here because it is an interesting issue that involves all blockchains. I can collaborate with you on it. If you're a website you can censor or be asked to remove content and do so. You can't censor a blockchain and some have argued blockchains are just as important for freedom of speech than for money & payments. It's a fascinating topic to discuss. So if someone puts up copyrighted content on SteemTube and it's not just an embed, then the platform can censor it I assume. Someone can of course create a SteemTube (uncensored) if they wanted and store it on IPFS, Maidsafe, Storj etc. and that's probably going to happen so I guess the world will have to come to terms with a world without copyrights. I have my own opinions on IP, but I'll save that for another day.
You've piqued my interest and always excited about collaborations. This is now on my to-do list (unless someone else gets to it first). I look forward to future discussions.
