One widely shared perspective on Pinterest’s ethical dilemmas“From a legal perspective, my concern was for my own potential liability. From an artist’sperspective, my concern was that I was arguably engaging in activity that is morally,ethically and professionally wrong.” - http://ddkportraits.com/2012/02/why-i-tearfully-deleted-my-pinterest-inspiration-boards/ I suggest reading this, and Pinterest’s updated Terms of use Twitter: @libraryfuture

http://poesygalore.blogspot.com/2012/03/on-pinterest-and-why-i-tearfully.html One librarian’s response – Emily Lloyd “…something less like Napster and more like del.icio.us: a place to store neat things I dont want to forget.” “When I used del.icio.us, Id post a link to an image I wanted to remember. On Pinterest, Ive posted images with links underneath them. They feel like such similar acts, to be so different!” Twitter: @libraryfuture

http://www.stuckincustoms.com/2012/02/13/why-photographers-should-stop-complaining-about-copyright-and-embrace-pinterest/ Twitter: @libraryfuture

Gonzalo E. Mon points out in this Mashable article that: -Pinterest does not own the content you Pin. -Pinning content does grant Pinterest some rights to use of that content (similar to Facebook’s). -“No, You Can’t Just Post Other People’s Stuff” -Confirm that licenses include permission to Pin. -“also be careful before you post any content that includes celebrity images or third party trademarks.” -“If your legal department would advise you not to post something on the website, you probably shouldn’thttp://mashable.com/2012/03/21/pinterest-copyright-legal-issues/ pin it to your company’s pinboard, either.” One solution – only in that which you own. Reasonable approach. Twitter: @libraryfuture

Where the difference may lie – “Both Twitter and Facebook encourage sharing personal experiences and photos rather than content created by someone else, says Deborah Sweeney, intellectual property lawyer and CEO of MyCorporation.” “According to Pinterests Terms of Use, however, its my responsibility to get General Foods Internationals permission prior to posting anything involving its trademark.” “Pinterest Places Copyright Responsibility on Users” Tip: “check with your product photographer that you own all rights to the images and that repinning would be an accepted use, since you may have only paid for the images to be used on your own website.”http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/250700/what_you_should_know_about_pinterest_and_copyright.html Twitter: @libraryfuture

Pinterest’s Copyright & Trademark page http://pinterest.com/about/copyright/ Twitter: @libraryfuture

http://carterlawaz.com/2012/03/copyright-infringement-on-pinterest/“A copyright holder has the exclusive rights to make copies and distribute their work. Pinningappears to be making a copy of an original work, and if you dont own or have permission to pinthe work, you might be at risk of being accused of copyright infringement.” Twitter: @libraryfuture

http://techcrunch.com/2012/03/24/pinterest-terms-api-copyrigh/New Terms of Service:•Pinterest does not have rights to sell you content.• noncommercial use only•Easier to report copyright abuses Twitter: @libraryfuture

You agree not to post User Content that: •infringes any third party’s Intellectual Property Rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, or other personal or proprietary rights; •contains any information or content that you do not have a right to make available under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships; or http://pinterest.com/about/use/http://pinterest.com/about/terms/Copyright Policy“Pinterest has adopted and implemented thePinterest Copyright Policy in accordance withthe Digital Millennium Copyright Act. For moreinformation, please read our Copyright Policy.” Twitter: @libraryfuture

Good advice form Erin Dali: “The bottom line is, there is copyright confusion when it comes to Pinterest, but that shouldn’t stop us from using the site. What can we do? We can pin smart and pin safe.”http://yalsa.ala.org/blog/2012/03/29/pinterest-copyright-concerns/Author’s 6 tips for smarter, safer, pinning (paraphrased):•Pin your own content with the intent to share.•Pin images when creators have attached a “Pin Me” button. They are inviting you to share aswell.•Pin original posts and include links with your pins. “Attribution does not necessarily makecopies legal under fair use, but it is always a good idea to give credit to creators.”•Pin things licensed with Creative Commons licenses.•Confirm if pinning specific content falls under Fair Use.•When in doubt – ask the content creator. Twitter: @libraryfuture

Pin Etiquette Guidelines:• Credit Your Sources: Pins arethe most useful when theyhave links back to the originalsource. If you notice that a pinis not sourced correctly, leavea comment so the originalpinner can update the source.Finding the original source isalways preferable to asecondary source such asImage Search or a blog entry.
