What happens if I post content that does not belong to me?

At Knowunity, we take content ownership very seriously. Posting content that does not belong to you is considered plagiarism and violates our community guidelines. It is essential to understand the implications of sharing someone else's work.

Understanding Plagiarism

Plagiarism occurs when you present someone else's ideas, words, or work as your own without proper attribution. This includes:

• Publishing a teacher's course without permission
• Copying and pasting content from other websites
• Using someone else's images or videos without consent

Legal Implications

When you publish content on Knowunity, you legally declare that you own the copyright to that content. If you post unauthorized content, you could face serious consequences, including:

• Legal action from the original author
• Removal of the copied content from the platform
• Possible banning from Knowunity if violations occur repeatedly

Always ensure that you have the right to share any content you post. If in doubt, seek permission from the original creator.

Consequences of Posting Unauthorized Content

If you post content that does not belong to you:

• The copied content will be deleted.
• If this happens too many times, you may be banned from the platform.
