RE: Steemit Advice: How to Avoid Plagiarism and Why It's More Important Than Ever!
How do you protect yourself from being plagiarized when you are only an individual, and not a corporation? Do you get every single piece of content you share with the world copyrighted before putting it out there?
Technically, every work that you submit is automatically copyrighted (assuming of course that it is a legitimate work). That said, there's no way that individuals or corporations can prevent being plagiarized. You just have more options as a corporation typically due to their retention of attorneys.
As a sole content producer, you can choose to press charges against those who plagiarize against you; however, it may not be worth the legal costs. Aside from confronting the plagiarists and setting the record straight, I'd save the legal action for a plagiarist that has deep pockets, if you know what I mean :)
