Copyright: Pinterest’s Biggest Issue • Copyright Responsibility is the users• Do you have the right to pin other people’s
content?• Protect Yourself:• Link to original sources• Post content you license or own
What are they doing to fix it?• Updated Copyright Policy with information on how
to have your content removed • “NoPin” Code blocks images from being pinned• Is “Kelly v Arriba Soft Corporation” enough?
