Pinterest Problem: Users May Run Into Copyright Issues Get Breaking News First Receive News, Politics, and Entertainment Headlines Each Morning. Sign Up FORT WORTH (CBS 11 NEWS) – Pinterest has more than 12 million users. Women use it for everything from planning their weddings to decorating their homes. Pinterest openly encourages users to share “all the beautiful things you find on the web.” But could you get in trouble with each pin and repin? “Pinterest is not illegal,” says Dallas intellectual property lawyer Casey Griffith. While it may not be illegal — you could get yourself sued if you’re not careful. Griffith says much of the content posted by users is protected. “The law covers that the copyright owner may be able to cover their attorney fees and significant statutory damages and that could amount to tens of thousands of dollars,” says Griffith. And don’t think you’re safe just because you’re pinning a watermarked image. And Pinterest has taken steps to protect copyright owners.
Microsoft kampittaa nyt Applea pilvessä - Talouselämä It-jätti Microsoft sulauttaa tiedostojen tallennus- ja jakopalvelu SkyDriven Windows 8 -käyttöjärjestelmäänsä, yhtiö kertoo blogissaan. Uuden SkyDriven avulla käyttäjät pystyvät synkronoimaan asetuksensa ja tärkeimmät tiedostonsa eri laitteiden välillä. Viime viikolla Apple esitteli OS X -käyttöjärjestelmänsä seuraava versiota, joka niin ikään sisältää Applen tallennuspalvelu iCloudin. Microsoft on laittanut Applea paremmaksi: yhtiö tarjoaa 25 gigatavua ilmaista tallennustilaa pilvipalveluunsa. Applen ilmainen tallennustila rajoittuu 5 gigatavuun. Tosin käyttäjän Photo Stream -valokuvat, iTunesin musiikkikirjasto, sovellukset ja iBooks-sähkökirjat eivät syö tilaa Applen iCloudista. Microsoftin antamien tietojen mukaan sen tiedostojenjakopalvelu muistuttaa hyvin paljon Dropboxia, jossa käyttäjät voivat jakaa tiedostoja ja kansioitaan keskenään. SkyDriven tiedostoihin pääsee käsiksi niin käyttöjärjestelmän tiedostojenhallinnan kuin selaimen kautta. Tilaa uutiskirje
Pinterest – Copyright Infringement Made Cool? To start out on a positive note, let me say that I think the story of Pinterest is inspiring. It is tempting to believe that many of the simpler ideas associated with innovation have been thought of, and only very complex, time consuming, expensive initiatives can break new ground. Along comes Pinterest, offering an extremely simple idea – providing the electronic paradigm of a corkboard with photos, recipes, and other notes that people want to keep handy and visible, and giving them the opportunity to link to those of others. Pinterest is turning out to be a great opportunity for small and large businesses to gain exposure and increase sales. Despite the positive aspects of Pinterest, however, I believe there are some real issues with its business model, specifically related to copyright violations. 1) “Pinterest Is Cool” Anytime I hear this one in regard to some website, my ears perk up along with my guard. Pinterest received $37.5 million in venture capital money. Sorry, but it is.
Smart användning av Pinterest som marknadsföringskanal » Linda Jonsson – Att synas som företagare - nwt.se - Ditt Värmland, just nu! Hittade denna artikel på Internetworld om hur svenska e-handlare använder det sociala mediet Pinterest som marknadsföringskanal. De har frågat tre företag, Babyshop, Interflora AB och Tampongshopen hur de jobbar och vilka resultat de fått. Hela artikeln, som är väl värd att läsa, finner du här men några bra grejer om hur de arbetar sammanfattar jag här: - Trots att Pinterest är en ny kanal för de flesta, både för företagen och kunderna, så fungerar den och driver trafik till de intervjuades e-handel. Även om trafiken inte är så stor idag, så ser företagen nyttan av att kunderna kan ”pinna” och dela med sig/sprida deras produkter i sina nätverk. - Företagen kopplar sina bilder på Pinterest direkt till sina e-handleslösningar så ser kunden något snyggt så är de bara ett klick bort från att köpa det de vill ha. Ta en titt på hur dessa företag använder Pinterest – kanske finns någon inspiration till ditt egna arbete? /Linda Bilder – Babyshop, Interflora AB och Tampongshopens på Pinterest.
Flickr Is Fighting Against Copyright Theft On Pinterest Pinterest continues to address copyright issues and adds Flickr attribution Due to a great deal of whiny criticism about copyright issues, Pinterest has introduced a new attribution system with the help of sites like Flickr, Vimeo and YouTube. Over the past few months, as interest in Pinterest has grown and grown and GROWN, many issues have been raised about whether users really have a right to pin anything they please. Some individuals and businesses raised valid points about their work being taken and used without attribution, whereas others were just jumping on the "Pinterest is bad" bandwagon and made us want to set the internet on fire. In response to some of these concerns the popular pinning platform updated its terms of service, gave everyone a way to block 'pinning' on their website and has today launched a new way of attributing those who originally created content. The Pinterest blog post states: "Attribution appears below the pin's description and provides a permanent link to the work, its author, and where they host their content. [Via Pinterest]
Lumia / iPhone UX-battle – Final scores and conclusion | MediaCity – Content Testing Home » Lumia / iPhone UX-battle – Final scores and conclusion The word test mean for the total score is is 4,43 for the Lumia, and 5,00 for the iPhone. The iPhone wins over the Lumia in all word types, with the largest difference being the pragmatic score. 4,15 vs 4,88 respectively. A difference of about 0,7 points. The total positivity score for the Lumia is high at 5,0 but the iPhone beats that with an impressive final positivity score of 5,70. Overall the iPhone is considered significantly more human than the Lumia as well as significantly more connective. If we compare the first impression score and the final score we get the following graph: This graph shows us that while the iPhone is initially scored higher, the Lumia gains a bit during the test for all values except Hedonic (pleasure) that falls for both. One more interesting thing to look at is the reported final score, when asked to think back, versus the calculated score from all the task scores given.

How Pinterest Uses Your Content Without Violating Copyright Laws Pinterest, the increasingly popular pinboarding social network, is able to present a visually arresting interface in large part by using copyrighted images pinned by users. "It's a huge concern for creative bloggers," said Amy Anderson, who blogs on the arts and crafts site Crafter Minds. "I don't think Pinterest does anything to help protect copyright besides removing content when people ask." Pinterest is able to avoid violating U.S. copyright laws thanks to a provision in the Internet Service Providers Act, which gives immunity to sites that publish information provided by others, according to Aaron Messing, an associate with OlenderFeldman LLP in New Jersey. Pinterest did not respond to a request for comment, but its Web site has instructions for requesting the removal of copyrighted content. Among many Pinterest users, as well as several artists who have had work pinned on the site, a code for giving proper credit is developing.
Pinterest addresses copyright concerns Pinterest, the newly hot social networking site, has answered some questions about copyright permissions and how the company thinks about sharing. In a statement, the company said that it believes that it is protected under the safe harbor of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and that it is committed to quickly responding to alleged copyright issues. Other companies, such as YouTube, adopt a similar strategy on content posted to their Web sites. Pinterest also said that the feedback from content creators has been largely positive — not litigious — because Pinterest drives traffic back to other Web sites. According to a report from The Next Web, Pinterest mostly drives traffic back to Facebook, Google, YouTube and Etsy, which largely mirrors the top sources for content on the site. The site, which was launched in 2009, has seen tremendous growth in the past few months and is now estimated to have 11 million users. For those interested, Pinterest’s full statement follows below:
