I was invited to present at the 2014 Photo and Film Expo and spoke about copyright and a couple related themes to a terrific audience comprising a number of professional photographers.

9. “b. How Pinterest and other users can use your content!
!
You grant Pinterest and its users a non-exclusive, royaltyfree, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide license to
use, store, display, reproduce, re-pin, modify, create
derivative works, perform, and distribute your User
Content on Pinterest solely for the purposes of operating,
developing, providing, and using the Pinterest Products.
Nothing in these Terms shall restrict other legal rights
Pinterest may have to User Content, for example under
other licenses. We reserve the right to remove or modify
User Content for any reason, including User Content that
we believe violates these Terms or our policies.”

10. A different approach

12. “The "pirates" are part of my community. Not
everyone in the community has equal means.
Pirates are not cretins riddled with immoral
behavior in every part of their life. These are all
generally good people who would gladly support
me, their friendly local neighborhood artist, if they
could easily afford it. They can't now, but they will
be able to some day... I give them something now,
and they will give me something later.”
– Trey Ratcliff writing on Google+

13. “Last, and most important, as soon as I opened
everything up, our business has grown and grown.
Our team now of about 10 people are happy and
everything is profitable. It is strange to see a chart
over time that shows an increase in revenues and
an increase in piracy. Now, piracy is not the
reason that revenues are increasing, but they are
not hurting revenues. .”
– Trey Ratcliff
