It saddens me that some artists are taking the stance of being so unsharing & possessive about their art being used in such a harmless manner So-what if some housewives, or college kids use our art to decorate their MySpace Page or create an avatar, or addSimpleSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00909382257815191266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036395284041892177.post-38608679675012153162012-03-23T09:00:45.118-04:002012-03-23T09:00:45.118-04:00I just think it is so sad that people are not hone...I just think it is so sad that people are not honest and things have to be taken to this extreeme.

I'm still investigating, but I do think you took the appropriate action to shut down your boards and raise attention to this matter. I too have now closed down my boards and I'll continue to investigate. Thanks for sharing your opinion and challenging me to rethink my logic.

I am not reposting anything to a blog or purporting anything to be my own work. I simply like it and may want to be able to find it again.<br /><br />ThatTexanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02255433042780782962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036395284041892177.post-10107559070786586102012-03-22T10:22:25.974-04:002012-03-22T10:22:25.974-04:00Kelly, thanks for sharing about these issues.

One thing I am going to do from now on, is to place my blog name on EVERY image that I upload. I work so hard to keep a lot of good content coming...in addition to my full time job. I had no idea that people could steal things and not give credit.

Favorites only works if you want to click through a million things you've saved to find the thing you kind of remember.

But I have wondered about the issue of sharing pictures that aren't yours. And I only recently read that you really should be getting permission before pinning a picture-which I would have never guessed and I doubt most people do. I also did not know that once your picture is up, Pinterst claims basically all rights Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02523537500871072561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036395284041892177.post-58232549332130724342012-03-21T09:12:00.419-04:002012-03-21T09:12:00.419-04:00I deleted my account the other day just because it...I deleted my account the other day just because it was too much of a time suck...Jean(ie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15896800216435689040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036395284041892177.post-27221769839693399852012-03-21T08:22:47.791-04:002012-03-21T08:22:47.791-04:00I added the no pinning code to my blog awhile ago,...I added the no pinning code to my blog awhile ago, but have hesitated making any kind of blog announcement because of the controversy.

But, I still think there are benefits of Pinterest. But, also aspects that those pinning should follow. <br /><br />To clarify, Pinterest is like an upgrade "Favorites" where you can bookmark and share with others (way cool). At the same time, the sharing should recognize the contribute and link to a direct source.
