This post service explains how to foreclose your Flickr images from beingness pinned - yesteryear changing your site preferences

Lots of people similar to portion images on sites they command - similar their website, weblog or Flickr account.  What many of them are less swell on - in addition to I'm i of them - is the sharing of those images yesteryear other people, without call for on sites that nosotros pick out no cognition of.  People's views vary - this post service is for people similar me!

Flickr introduces 'no pin' meta tag sitewide

Flickr inserted the 'no pin' meta tag into its site real shortly after it was published yesteryear Pinterest.  

The 'no pin' meta tag was introduced yesteryear Pinterest on twenty Feb 2012 (What if I don't desire images from my site to last pinned?) following the viral outcry, approaching a viral storm, close the grade in addition to extent of copyright infringement beingness promoted yesteryear Pinterest.  Some are characterising the way the site industrial plant equally promoting piracy.  Given the recent involvement inwards the USA inwards the changes to the copyright laws suddenly people are getting interested inwards copyright issues!

The Flickr Help Forum post Adding Pinterest's "nopin" meta tag indicates that Flickr had introduced the meta tag to the Flickr site no subsequently than 22 February.

It's of import to annotation that the regulation is that the meta tag follows the stated preferences of the Flickr user.  Hence it ONLY applies if:
  • you pick out opted out of sharing 
  • it is non a populace photograph (ie yous pick out made your photos private).
This is an paradigm of the Your Account page - for my Flickr describe organisation human relationship which is mainly used equally an archive for my images (ie 99.9% of the 13,779 items inwards the account is non shared!)

Change your Flickr Account to say 'No' to sharing

What yous pick out to exercise to foreclose sharing of Flickr images

This is what yous demand to exercise if yous would prefer your images to last seen on Flickr - but NOT shared elsewhere.  I've tested this alongside images I pick out on stance on an describe organisation human relationship where I pick out disabled sharing.

The default seat for images on Flickr is "all rights reserved" alongside sharing enabled.  To goal pinning yous demand to disable the sharing.  I've non tested what this does for those who post service their photos to Facebook equally I've non got that connection develop on my archive account.

So here's a checklist:
  1. Find your Account settings
    • Click the 'You' tab or your accountname
    • Click the 'Privacy in addition to Permissions' tab.  (Note that Privacy is dissimilar from Sharing.  The  setting for enabling sharing is located nether Privacy in addition to non nether the Sharing tab!) 
  2. Set "All rights reserved" equally your criterion copyright status.  
    1. You demand to scroll downward to 'Defaults for novel uploads' in addition to find What license volition your content have.  
    2. Then edit the setting to in addition to select None (All rights reserved).  
    3. This provides yous alongside this notice All rights reserved © on the page of every photograph. (This of course of written report is what is lost when an paradigm is in addition to so reproduced on some other site).  This makes it much easier to serve a "cease in addition to desist" notice if that's what yous desire to do.
    4. You can, if yous want, nonetheless laid the page to invite Getty to licence your images piece maintaining an "all rights reserved".  
  3. Edit your Global settings - so that yous shroud your materials from populace searches
    • there are various settings which relate to both profile in addition to photos.  On my archive describe organisation human relationship I pick out all hidden from searches.
    • you can hide your photos from searches on Flickr in addition to likewise tertiary political party sites that role the API, including Yahoo! Image Search?  The latter is what is frequently used to seat images fro role on Tumblr - where they likewise frequently lose all attribution in addition to accreditation.
  4. Edit your Global settings - so that exclusively yous tin laissez passer the sack access the master copy paradigm file.  This brings upwards a message on the "all sizes" page which states The possessor has disabled downloading of their photos     
  5. Edit Global setting for Allow others to portion your stuff (the minute exceptional inwards 'Your Account' settings 
    • Set this to No.  
    • This disables whatsoever sweat to pivot an paradigm to Pinterest using the URL. If they try, they teach a message similar the i below
What people encounter if they essay to pivot a Flickr paradigm AFTER yous pick out disabled sharing
Also - if yous correct click on a Flickr paradigm it forthwith provides a arguing equally to its copyright status ie if yous pick out implemented "all rights reserved" at that spot is no way that anybody tin laissez passer the sack deny that they didn't know its status on Flickr if that's the way they attempted to relieve the image.

So - after all that:
  1. People cannot pivot images from 
    • accounts where sharing is disabled
    • images which are defined equally somebody (ie non on display)
    • images which are non security (ie all pictures designated equally 'adult')
  2. All other images on Flickr tin laissez passer the sack last pinned.
  3. You volition abide by it easier to serve successful "cease in addition to desist" orders on Pinterest (and other sites) for all images where sharing is enabled but your account
    • defines the licence status equally "all rights reserved" which is made visible if people essay to correct click in addition to save
    • prevents downloads
Note that this article Flickr disables Pinterest pins on copyrighted images (exclusive) by Venture Beat is INCORRECT.  (see Aaron Hockley's explanation VentureBeat Flubs Flickr/Pinterest Restrictions: It’s Not a Copyright Situation for the reasons why). 

The consensus seems to last that Venture Beat does non sympathise how Flickr works.  I've tried it - in addition to having "all rights reserved" without the global setting beingness laid to 'no sharing' way that images tin laissez passer the sack last nonetheless last pinned to Pinterest.

It's so essential to modify your global setting on sharing if yous don't desire your "all rights reserved" images to last pinned.

However it is truthful that Flickr is becoming to a greater extent than in addition to to a greater extent than attuned to the copyright interests of originators in addition to I'm guessing it's exclusively going to last a thing of fourth dimension before the "no share" obstacles likewise relate to the copyright status of the image.  I've made a plea for this on the forum thread identified earlier.

Note that, piece logged inwards to Flickr, yous tin laissez passer the sack exercise whatever yous similar alongside your ain photos.

[UPDATE Flickr forthwith has an Official FAQ for PinterestCan I plough off sharing to Tumblr or Pinterest? This likewise explains to what to do.

However I would annotation that despite doing everything they suggested I pick out merely shared an all rights reserved photograph on Flickr which does non let sharing alongside Pinterest - in addition to managed to teach it to charge on to Pinterest (while I was logged out).  Now I idea that I  would non able to exercise that!!!

This highlights

  • opting inwards to copyright protection is wrong - suggests that this is the correct way round.  The authors propose copyright should ever dominion in addition to websites should last able to opt to last pinned
