Users and owners of copyrighted materials are using social media to engage the Pinterest community in conversation about pinning of work you likely don’t have rights to distribute.  Kirsten Kowalski, owner of DDK Portraits in Alpharetta, GA, posted a well researched and written article: Why I Tearfully Deleted My Pinterest Inspirational Boards.  She raises concerns for the general – unsuspecting public to understand possible legal actions that could be imposed upon individuals similar to the Napster events that embroiled teenagers and young children in legal action.

Mari Smith, marismith.com, posted an article on Google + February 19th titled: How your business could get sued for using Pinterest.  Mari addresses the TOS Terms of Service for both Pinterest and Facebook.

I will post a number of resources for marketers, collectors, online resource gathers, and more in the next week.  We are also launching a Q&A answer forum for Pinterest followers.  Readers will vote for the best answer.   Sign up for our newsletter so you can join the conversation.
