Pinterest & Terms of ServiceBecause Pinterest’s social network is based on a photo-sharing model, concerns have been raised with regards to usage of copyright of images without permission.
Pinterest Terms of Service prohibits such behavior and addresses the issue through a combination of an ‘opt out’ model for sites who do not want their products feature on Pinterest, as well as encouraging crediting of image sources.
