I do love pinterest and usually pin my own artwork on there via my blog and I do always have my copyright watermark on it. I do like to repin pins - things like cute animals/amazing tattoos but I'm guessing that if they've been pinned in the first place it's ok to repin them -and I always get notified when mine are repinned so that isn't a problem. I guess, like you discovered, the problem is when someone manages to take an image from somewhere else entirely and upload it without reference. I've never done that on Pinterest. I have discovered how difficult it is to credit the photographer though as when I've seen a photo I'd like to use as inspiration for a painting I try to find out who took it and discovered that it's on a 'wallpaper' website and that they apparently just sweep the internet looking for images which they take illegally - it's so difficult to control.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819583803044106367.post-27397102634083678602012-12-05T10:27:45.783+01:002012-12-05T10:27:45.783+01:00Thanks for the link, Judy.

But I must admit that I also enjoy repinning most, as there's so much inspiration and wonderful ideas to be found there, and one can discover new blogs and websites via the pins - provided there's a link. I've started going to all my pins too, but it's a lot of work.<br />I remember reading about you having posted something about Pinterest but couldn't find it anymore - must go and have a look at your FB page now!Nordljushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12338266771808023458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819583803044106367.post-39057177858218290052012-12-05T09:57:34.283+01:002012-12-05T09:57:34.283+01:00The only thing to prevent any kind of misuse would...The only thing to prevent any kind of misuse would be not to upload anything at all, which would be a pity. I agree, there's probably no foolproof way to protect your images, if someone really wants to steal them, they'll always manage. But watermarks at least help with those you just don't care or think about it.<br />Thanks for posting a comment on the pin!Nordljushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12338266771808023458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819583803044106367.post-12156651969472258552012-12-03T22:23:03.044+01:002012-12-03T22:23:03.044+01:00Very interesting.

Because pinterest started as a personal thing, a place to collect images for their own inspiration, not to drive traffic to blogs, etc, which people do now, people have never learned to use it properly. It's only in the last few month that people have started taking copyright on pinterest seriously. Better late than never I guess, but not nice for artists who have put hours of love and energy into their work. I love the visual element of Pinterest, but I too stopped using it for ages, trying to work out what to do. It gave me such a bad feeling. I considered closing my account completely, but decided I'm not quite ready for that yet, so am now going through all my old pins to make sure they're accredited properly, deleting pins I'm unsure of. Long tedious job, but better safe than sorry.
