Likewise, it seems a homemaker who loves to cook can post a recipe, if she's not Paula Dean trying to sell her name, etc. The article posted was a discussion between professional photographers, not hobbyists or great home cooks.Anne Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10164218328146605384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-50550073037089956202012-03-02T13:22:40.064-05:002012-03-02T13:22:40.064-05:00One thing that really bothers me about this discus...One thing that really bothers me about this discussion is the concern I have that most folks don't understand the nature of pins. Pins are like online bookmarks associated with images. When you pin something on Pinterest, the original address of that image stays with it, through no matter how many re-pinnings or embeddings occur afterwards.<br /><br />Basically, Pinterest is all about people sharing bookmarks with images with other people. I'm not sure why anyone is objecting to this! Although I do understand the legal concerns, I have to wonder who decided it was so fuss-worthy. <br /><br />I am unsure now what to do with most of the stuff I have re-pinned from other people's boards, but in the interests of saving time, I will probably just delete most of my boards willy-nilly. The only pins that I can in good conscience say that I know where they came from are pins to images, etc. that I have created myself. Which is, like the lawyer said, also against the TOU. They took a lot of time to create. I felt comfortable having them up as long as they didn't constitute the vast majority of my pins, but if I delete everything else, then I will probably delete them too. But thoughts of deleting them makes me cranky! I'm sure others are also having that reaction.Krystihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04153290059324304337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-72469512565248322472012-03-02T13:14:44.399-05:002012-03-02T13:14:44.399-05:00Krysti, Thanks for posting the follow-up info.

She said he promised there would be changes to the TOU, but she didn't specify what they would be.<br /><br />You can read her follow-up post here: http://ddkportraits.com/2012/02/my-date-with-ben-silbermann-following-up-and-drying-my-tears/Krystihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04153290059324304337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-54007865265971589762012-03-02T12:41:29.748-05:002012-03-02T12:41:29.748-05:00Cheryl,

It's a good thing to b aware of moving forward--and a good reminder for our blog posts. <br /><br />I do believe some of the copyright laws need to be updated regarding new technologies and more clearly defined, as well as between countries since it's worldwide.Jennifer Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360330085131177132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-2730394515036669812012-03-02T12:18:41.832-05:002012-03-02T12:18:41.832-05:00Now I feel I should go through Pinterest and delet...Now I feel I should go through Pinterest and delete a bunch of things, but why be a member if you can't show people what your interests are?<br /><br />I use stock photos that I pay for on my blogs, but like you mentioned, I use Amazon and publishers' sites when I interview authors. <br /><br />No copyright issues so far, but you never know how things will go.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470069911115912344noreply@blogger.com
