Are you stealing or are you sharing other people's work on social media?

Of course, you're sharing, right? You wouldn't dream of stealing, would you? Or maybe you've been doing it without meaning to?

The thing is, sharing properly on social media can help brands, influencers and friends, because the credit goes back to the correct person (when it's shared properly) and/or the correct permission has been given in order to allow you to share.

The other thing is stealing. And that's not good.

Not only is it rude, and can actually damage people's brands, but you could also be infringing their copyright and that could land you with a big fine.

As I say in the podcast, I'm not an expert in copyright law, but I have seen this happen a good few times. And I work with a number of professionals who have experienced these issues too. As the person who's sharing the work of whoever, you need to do the work, read the Ts and Cs, ask the relevant permissions, etc.
