Creators Beware — Dishonest Creators
Guard your creative content
Recently there has been a lot of people writing about making money on YouTube for free by simply downloading other creators content and even telling them how to do it. The worse thing that a creator can do is to not protect their work, and to use the creative content thinking that this is the way to get paid.
A creator who is too lazy to do their own work, is guilty of plagiarizing and passing on someone’s else work as their own. If you have no idea, of what to create and are to lazy to do the research for the content then you are not a creator but a fraud.
One of the biggest mistakes that creators make is to not copyright their work, not knowing the importance of this.
A person can be fined $6,000 for having plagiarized a persons content, there are to many creators who believe that Creative Commons, is a way to express their creative revenue flow. They need to not allow other creators to use their materials, the ones who do this is being dishonest to themselves, the public and even potential employers.
What they are telling the employers is that they can do the work when in fact they are stealing from other creators hard work and effort. They are lessening the other creators potential to earn money, by using work that does not belong to them.
If you have a truly creative thought, or idea use your own talents and merits, and stop relying on other peoples hard work.
