Hello!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that you attempt to link the source of your images, but you really need to contact the original artist (you don't need to credit pinners!). My image can be found here: http://society6.com/floresimagespdx/Great-Adventure_Print. Please credit the artist (leah flores) and attach the link.
Here is a recent blog post about how to avoid copyright infringement!

Hey Leah! Thanks for commenting! I understand your frustration. I wrote a whole blog post about Pinterest and copyright infringement here, http://www.coffeeandcashmere.com/2012/03/sue-me.html. That's why I never upload pictures on there that aren't mine.
DeleteAlthough, I see your point completely, I don't have the time, nor the energy to retrace every single image that I add to my blog. That's why I add the pinner's info, because I'm hoping they are honest and credit the original work.
If you look in my "About" section, I have this:
"Blog Etiquette (or lack there of): I have tons and tons of images stored on my computer, and I can't always find their source. So, if you are the owner of a particular photo on my blog and wish to claim credit or have the photo removed, just let me know. I'll be happy to edit or change the photo. Unless otherwise specified, I do not claim ownership of all the photos shown on my blog. There are a lot I wish were mine.. One day. One. Day."
I am more than happy to cite you as the artist! Or just take the photo down completely. I love giving art the exposure it needs. But, I don't like getting comments about copyright infringement. Flag that pinner and tell them.
