I'm really torn on this one. All evidence shows that this is theft since steemworld was not really open source and their code has taken against @steemchiller own will. (That's what I understand from all of this at least).
I was really a steemworld addict and I barely can keep myself away from Beeme but it feels wrong to be using a "stolen website." I believe it is too easy to justify this theft by saying:
Anyways @steemchiller could just have moved with us or some other excuse for us to steal from him. I think overall it puts Hive in a bad spotlight and it would be great to see us rejecting this temptation.
For me, I will do my best not to give in for this temptation and instead wait for an alternative that is actually not stolen property OR it is confirmed beeme is in fact, legit. I think it is easy to justify theft and it is something I would like to take a distance from.
Would love to hear all of you others opinion on this one. The opinions seem to be all over the place.
ps. I really love this new "Askhive community". Such a cool idea for better engagement!
