The content on Pinterest almost always leads you back to the source site. I doubt that comes under pirating. Or am I missing something?

- dminor 15y agoCrediting the source doesn't mean it automatically falls under fair use. Pinterest's ToS state that you cannot pin material if you don't have copyright permission. Of course, this is probably a large percentage of what gets pinned.
- wmf 15y agoThe "almost always" part is a bit of a problem. Why does Pinterest allow people to remove attribution? If Pinterest cares about respecting copyright, the simplest step would be to preserve attribution (and on a practical note, the resulting referer logs would notify image creators that their stuff is being pinned).
