Will I be deleting my Pinterest account or my boards? No way! But I will continue to be careful in what I pin and share {and make sure to link back to the original source}. Even though Pinterest is an online sharing community, I still do not want to be liable for any copyright infrigement hugabaloo.Laura Candler at Corkboard Connections has created a "Permission to Pin" badge. I have joined other educators in displaying this badge on the right-side toolbar of my blog. What this means is that:
Yes, you have permission to pin images from my site {Mrs. Lirette's Learning Detectives} and my Teachers Pay Teachers store. Please follow my Pinterest boards and pin away!
I think that people are overreacting!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf they put their idea online, they are giving you permission to look at it and save the idea to find it later {pinning it}.
I completely agree, Rachelle, and that is why I am definitely not going to delete my boards! I LOVE Pinterest! If someone uploads a picture, they have to know that they no longer have control over who views it, or "pins" it in this case. As an educator, I WANT my ideas and products out there! I want to encourage people to repin my images. That's why I added the "Permission to Pin" badge and posted about it. Just in case. :)
