Plagiarism: Steeming mad - seeing copied stolen content on Steemit- you wouldn't steal a car, would you?

I am steemingly mad, after seeing the same articles posted on Steemit.com as 'original works', time after time. 

Being an avid reader, always up-to-date on the latest news on cryptocurrencies and technology- I had seen numerous plagiarized articles taken from CoinDesk re-posted on Steemit.com.

There surely should be a mechanism besides the downvoting used to verify articles and content?! Something akin to the way people on Instagram give acknowledgement to someone else's image or content.

I don't mind people's opinions or introductions but articles copied verbatim are really frustrating to read and a waste of time. Furthermore, readers upvote this content thinking it's the 'real mccoy', profiting of others ignorance.People actually upvote this stolen content. The first thing that comes to mind is the advertising campaign for pirated/copied DVDs ," You Wouldnt steal a car"- so why steal other people's intellectual property?!

Please verify your content by acknowledging the source or referencing the site.
