With the fact that Medium just renovated their pay program, I am surprised that they didn’t revise or establish protocol against plagiarism. My guess is that they aren’t concerned with plagiarism because of the legalities and what it could potentially cost them.

Also, in today’s writing world according to some brick and mortar small publishers, the computer time stamp gives you copyright on your work.

Idea. Is there any way that writers could finish an article with a copyright symbol to deter criminal activity? My articles on my WordPress sites are concluded with a copyright bar that appears on every page. Check the bottom of my site Coffee on my Porch. Couldn’t we do something like on Medium as well and be supported by Medium?
