It's no different than if they saw it on the internet and decided to capture it somehow. I think you're right; if you're an artist you should water mark your works but if you're going to use the internet as a means to promote your work, it goes along with that, that somewhere you're images will show up.<br /><br />The best thing we can do as Pinners, is to pin only an image that goes back to the original site, or at least reference where you got the image. Heck, I actually thank the person who originally pinned it when I'm going to re-pin something.<br /><br />As a writer and a blogger, yes it would frustrate me if someone wrote my words and claimed them as their own...but if someone pins something from my blog, well, I am simply happy to have the exposure.<br /><br />I'm off to do some pinning...and thanks Sarah for taking the time to help us understand how it all works. You're wonderful that way!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10972581158834240144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245705742183322956.post-87979593408012183402012-03-22T19:22:23.298-07:002012-03-22T19:22:23.298-07:00I dare not sign up for Pinterest.

I agree though..you have to take care to give credit or at least a link! <br /><br />I do find that it is a great marketing tool and use is as one weekly! Ya know..I think the one thing I really don't like about Pinterest is the lack of back and forth you get on twitter or FB or here for that matter.<br />Thank ya for popping by hon:)Sarah Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03835112406617937224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245705742183322956.post-25173643206724044702012-03-22T17:05:22.240-07:002012-03-22T17:05:22.240-07:00I've been dragging my feet to join Pinterest f...I've been dragging my feet to join Pinterest for the reasons "just me" stated above. Last year I found one of my images floating around on it without any acknowledgment. Since I was not a member, I had no idea what to do. I've avoided it ever since. With that said, all of my friends just love Pinterest, so maybe I need to keep an open mind and give it a try. Do you find that it is a valuable tool for networking? Also, just out of curiosity, do you think people will be moving away from words (Twitter) and towards images (Pinterest)? <br /><br />Thanks for the tutorial! I may try this one day!Emmy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16181337467340319382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245705742183322956.post-76810273164452978542012-03-22T16:48:25.071-07:002012-03-22T16:48:25.071-07:00Thank you..and I understand the issue.

As a user of Pinterest you need to make sure that you add pics with links to the artist etc..it is only polite. Stealing pictures and uploading from your computer is just plain wrong..don't do that! As for myself..I am quite thrilled to see folks pinning my work it touches me that folks like itand it is great for sales..and my work is watermarked. Google is no different..you can snag whatever where ever..you have to protect your work. Just my thoughts:)Sarah Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03835112406617937224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245705742183322956.post-14970530575717508222012-03-22T16:41:16.960-07:002012-03-22T16:41:16.960-07:00Though I also love pinterest to help keep all of m...Though I also love pinterest to help keep all of my favorites, inspirations, recipes, etc. in one place without having to store it all on my computer under bookmards. There are alot of articles being written right now about the dangers of copyright laws with pinterest. They are saying unless you get in writing from the artist, chef, hairstylist, photographer, etc. to pin their picture, recipe, photo, etc. they can sue your for copyright infringment. Selena of the Farm Chicks posted a good article today about it and have read others as well on some blogs. Hope they can get it figured out because it is fun!just mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09614398906670848680noreply@blogger.com
