    About :

    As I'm in the hosting business for over a decade, I had a lot of cases (and abuse tickets) for different kinds of content theft by some of my irresponsible clients... Some of them would use photos, graphics without knowledge of the authors, others have used videos, or just scrapped the complete websites... Usually, the author of the "item" contact hosting company and they give a timeframe to REMOVE the content from their servers... If you don't want to remove the content, then it goes to the next level before lawsuits, etc...

    How is this solved on the blockchain where there is no 3rd party?

    You upload the content on the Hive blockchain and NOBODY else than YOU can change it or delete it... As a matter of fact, you can't do it either... There is a way to edit and delete, but those operations are not the same as you do that on your computer... But that is another topic, so we will skip this part for a moment...

    Let us take the Hive as an example... You have uploaded your content to the Hive blockchain, and it shows on different frontends/websites, like PeakD, or Hive.blog... For example, I have noticed that you have stolen my "article"... I contact ALL the frontends where is that post visible, and tell them to take down the blog post... They "remove the link" to the post, and it is not VISIBLE on that particular frontend... But, the post is still written in the blockchain, and you CAN pull it out whenever you want...

    What did this mean?
    People have wrong thoughts about the blockchain, as they see it as an anonymous jungle where everyone can do whatever wants... Yes, you can, but...

    As you are the only one that has KEYS to your account, and only YOU can change the content and everything else connected to your account, you don't have "EXCUSES" that someone else done that content theft... So, in a nutshell, you have even more responsibility for your actions on the blockchain, than you had on the "classic" hosted website...

    On the other side, if you are playing by the rules, you are the OWNER of your stuff, and if someone steals your content, you can easily prove that you are the real owner...

    Check out the video for some other thoughts...

    Thank you for your valuable time,
