It would be wonderful if there was a feature added where we could turn on a flag that would appear on all our hubs that states "Permission granted by author to pin to Pinterest." This would really help to clarify whether or not it is okay.
You have the option to turn the 'Pin' option off - so by having the Pin button on a Hub you have effectively given permission...of course only other hubbers would know that!
I read some articles that led me to believe otherwise; however, I did just find a guide to Pinterest after reading your post and I agree with you. I will assume that if the feature is turned on, I have permission. Thank you for your perspective. )
Thanks, SimeyC, for beating me to the answer. Cathleena, SimeyC is correct. You can turn off the Pinterest button from appearing on your Hubs by going to My Account > Profile > Social Networks and clicking the checkbox to "disallow users from pinning my Hubs."
Otherwise, appearance of the button is permission to Pin.
As an aside, I'm still baffled that folks turn it off. It's huge source of traffic for HubPages. Personally, it's been a huge traffic driver for my Hubs, and I use all of my own photography. Anyway...discussion for a different forum.

I truly don't get it. It's a whole lot of pretty pictures. How does posting our articles to pinterest get them read?

I have been pinning my Hubs on Pinterest for a few months now, and about 70 of my Hubs are now pinned. I have also had several of my pins to Hubs shared by others on Pinterest. Despite all of this, I do not have one single click from Pinterest showing up in my HubPages traffic...

Is pinning to Pinterest a violation of copyright laws?Unless you are pinning your own work and pin someone else's work, you might be violating copyright as you do not own the rights to this work.

Hi, all,I'm posting this to share that I recently shelled out $1,600 for a photo I didn't have copyright to use. Let me explain so that this never happens to you.Several years ago, I grabbed a picture off Pinterest and used it on my private blog with a post. Last year, I got a series of letters...
