Is Pinterest a Haven for Copyright Violations? Pinterest's terms of use state that if you upload content to Pinterest, then you're giving Pinterest permission to distribute, sublicense, and sell that content: By making available any Member Content through the Site, Application or Services, you hereby grant to Cold Brew Labs a worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, copy, adapt, *modify, distribute, license, sell, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit, stream, broadcast, access, view, and otherwise exploit such Member Content only on, through or by means of the Site, Application or Services. *This allows Pinterest to justify replacing affiliate links with ones that earn money for Pinterest. Furthermore, Pinterest provides an "embed" button next to every pinned image so that it may be displayed on anyone's blog or website.

Reread that sentence and think about what that means. THAT is the real copyright threat from Pinterest. Dinosaur Designs — Home. DRS: SUT Returns. Outage Map. The Trademark Blog. Sanrio.com - Home of Hello Kitty.
