Pinterest New Terms Eliminate Some Rights!

Will New Terms of Service Increase Pinterest Appeal?

When Pinterest first launched, Pinterest used a standard set of Terms. Frankly one item in particular, kept me from whole heartedly endorsing Pinterest. The Pinterest new Terms of Service and Privacy Policy go into effect April 6, 2012. The new Pinterest terms of Service are much improved in my opinion, and will probably draw many more photographers to their social media site. I'd encourage you to read their changes in their entirety, but the following change is definitely worth noting:

Removing Pinterest Rights of Sale

Pinterest original Terms stated that by posting content to Pinterest you granted Pinterest the right to sell your content. This is the clause that set sirens off for me, in regards to Pinterest previously. Pinterest now says they never intended selling your content, and have removed this clause from their updated Terms.
In addition,Pinterest released simpler tools for anyone to report alleged copyright or trademark infringement.

So are your rights to your work safe on Pinterest? Judge for yourself. Remember Terms of Service need to be checked on a regular basis.
