lizb17 a year agoIf the poster is linking directly from the original copyright holder, then there may be no copyright issues. Unfortunately, much of the content on the web does not link directly to the copyright owner. So, for example, if you see a picture you like on a blog that does not report the original source, and you pin the photo from the blog, the photo hosted on Pinterest will be in violation of copyright, even though it links back to the blog.
