We (contributors) pay $0 towards the marketing of our images on this site.That's not so. Some portion of the cut in sale price that DT receives does and should go to marketing. That is a percentage that we could be receiving if marketing was truly "free." Our cut is small compared to DT's cut which includes overhead, costs, salaries, fees and marketing. posted in I do not want my images shareable on sites like Pinterest. Please opt me out!

I haven't made up my mind yet about the legitimacy of Pinterest but found this interesting article from the viewpoint of a lawyer who is also a photographer. He had his photos there but took them down reluctantly when he researched the Terms of Use on the site.  He concluded that until changes were made or the law better defined he isn't risking pinning other's works. The terms include:“You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for all Member Content that you make available through the Site, Application and Services. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that: (i) you either are the sole and exclusive owner of all Member Content that you make available through the Site, Application and Services or you have all rights, licenses, consents and releases that are necessary… you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Cold Brew Labs, its officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees…"If someone sues, it's you not the company that must provide a legal defense in the suit. The rest of the article is interesting and worth a read. He seems very open-minded. He states that "what finally sealed the deal for me as I tried desperately to talk myself out of deleting my gorgeous inspiration boards, was when I thought of some of the photographers whose work I had pinned from other websites. Would they want me posting their images? My initial response is probably the same as most of yours: “why not? I’m giving them credit and it’s only creating more exposure for them and I LOVE when people pin my stuff!” But then I realized, I was unilaterally making the decision FOR that other photographer. And I thought back to the thread on Facebook where the photographers were complaining about clients posting photos without their consent and I realized this rationale is no different than what those clients argue: “why can’t I post them – it’s just more exposure for you.” Bottom line is that it is not my decision to make. Not legally and not ethically." posted in I do not want my images shareable on sites like Pinterest. Please opt me out!
