What I don't like about medium is that there are no legal / copyright checks when someone posts an article. I recently discovered a couple of my more popular how-to articles that I wrote back in 2009 had been copied verbatim (including all the code examples that contained my name as sample values) and published under someone else's name. They eventually took down the articles after I asked but I checked out the same author's other posts and he had copied many other peoples' work, as well. I'm hoping DEV takes the appropriate precautions.
