“Just because the Internet gives a brand the ability to pin an image to a Pinterest page doesn’t mean that it’s legal.” This is the first article I’ve seen that goes into the legal issues of reposting people’s pictures. Check out this pithy paragraph: “Given the risk of copyright infringement, how can an advertiser still take advantage of the Pinterest hoopla? First, only pin (and “re-pin”) images that your brand owns or has appropriately licensed. For licensed images, pay special attention to any license usage limitations. At a minimum you will want unlimited usage on the Internet, but given that use on Pinterest is such a new use that you may want to consider specifically listing “Pinterest usage” in the license. Another good way to find images that you can pin or re-pin is to leverage brand partners’ images (with permission of course), which increases your image library, and affords your partner additional traffic to its sites.” Via Chuck Bartok, Local Search Labs, Social Media Effectiveness
