How to discovery images pinned from your website or blog
If you lot desire to discovery which of your images receive got been pinned this is what you lot demand to do
OK - thus that's when I got a shock. There were lots of images from my weblog in addition to my website belonging to me in addition to other artists - including images where their usage on my weblog had real specific atmospheric condition attached (the "jump through hoops" images!).
Why it's incorrect to pivot without permission
I'm delighted that people similar my blogs in addition to dearest to a greater extent than or less of the images that I include. However I am real disappointed at the issue of people who receive got acre either non read or non understood the understanding they signed when becoming members of Pinterest.
Pinterest stipulates that you lot tin ONLY pivot images which are
Unless the copyright possessor has made it clear (eg through piece of work of creative park or a "Pin away" badge) that it's OK to piece of work their images, you lot but can't create upwardly one's hear for them.
The exclusively exceptions are the "fair use" exemptions. However my ain thought is that Pinterest is on sinking sands if it tries to combat those. For lawsuit I had people pinning images from exhibition reviews - spell my stats were non showing whatsoever visits from Pinterest to those exhibition reviews - in addition to for my piece of work to hold out "fair use" the images cannot hold out separated from the review.
All my blogs in addition to websites dot that "all rights reserved on all text in addition to images". That's because, inwards general, I don't similar seeing my images decorating other people's sites. I'm fine if people inquire in addition to it's an occasional asking in addition to I often laissez passer on permission.
However I also post a issue of copyright protected images which I larn permission to piece of work from artists/art museums/galleries. The fact that I receive got permission does non hateful this automatically transfers to the someone who has pinned the ikon on their board.
I'm assuming people are truly ignorant of the procedure of asking permission that I receive got to larn through to larn to a greater extent than or less images on my weblog - in addition to that they would demand to hit ditto earlier pinning in addition to then - every bit per their fellow member understanding alongside Pinterest. So I'm non pointing fingers - but I receive got decided to arrive real clear that pinning my images is non welcome. Hence this post - in addition to what I did next.
Then I started to comment on my images
I thought a chip close how to bargain alongside it. I couldn't come across whatsoever way of contacting the someone who had pinned the image.
I've done "take down" notices earlier in addition to they are tiresome to do, peculiarly if in that place are a lot of images involved.
My friend had already started to travail getting her images dealt alongside in addition to got this answer from Pinterest.
This is what Pinterest says to the someone who pinned the image
This is what I said - alongside variations on the same theme.
Then I began to realise how long this 'simple solution' powerfulness accept to implement - fifty-fifty alongside a copy/paste operation......
Which is when I thought "Stuff This" - in that place has to hold out an easier way.........
See Part 2 for what happened next! This contains:
- Part 1:
- how I discovered exactly how many images from my websites in addition to blogs had been pinned - without my permission - on Pinterest

- it assumes the copyright possessor is getting traffic from the fact the ikon has been pinned. I looked through the pinnacle 50 sources of traffic for my weblog on Google Analytics in addition to Statcounter - in addition to Pinterest was nowhere to hold out seen. My friend - who had c.100 images pinned without permission - commented every bit follows. So much for the traffic argument!
I don't fifty-fifty demand all my fingers to count the page views I've been getting from the site a day.
- There is no reminder that the fellow member should ONLY pivot images they ain or that they receive got permission to piece of work - every bit per the membership agreement.
- There is absolutely no recognition that upholding the rights of the copyright possessor is non optional. Pinterest is required yesteryear police to accept downwards the ikon if ownership is proved.
