      how  would you   get a picture from pinterest  to  facebook?   IF  you wanted it on  your  business page not  your  personal page?  

    my best  way  so  far seems  pretty  bulky…i  put the pinterest  picture in my picture  file, thru  a SAVE AS   function….then  go to my  store   facebook page, im admin… and  find it thru  the  browse  feature  under add pictures…

    i know i  could send it  straight to  my personal page,  but thats not where i want it…thanks

    @annfurnivall I’m curious about why you want to do this. 

    Most of the images on Pinterest are copyrighted and can’t be reused for commercial purposes.Some have Creative Commons licenses that require attribution.

    thanks  charlene….what  you are saying is   totally not  reflected in  the activity i see…..

    . the whole idea of pinterest is sharing pictures….  if  something has a website attached i leave it on….   pictures are shared all over the interenet all the time…i dont   see  what you are  seeing i guess….pictures are flying all over   facebook all the time too….  i guess if  your stuff is   private and  copyrighted   you  shouldnt put it on pinterest… pinners  dont   claim ownership of  the pictures….

    like   so many others i put  my    pinterest  link with its  thousandsof pins on my  commercial page..im not selling  anyones  pictures..  this isnt very  clear…

    @charlene-kingston  i hope this  gets  cleared up soon…right now  millions of people are in   deep doo doo  if  what you are saying is  enforced…

    Many people don’t read the “manual” and don’t know what they are doing is “wrong” or they are informed about the rules but choose to not follow them since the web is so massive it’s often difficult to find “stolen” images.  
    As far as Pinterest goes, they actually have something written in their Acceptable Use Policy that states you are not to post user content that “infringes any third party’s Intellectual Property Rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, or other personal or proprietary rights”. Facebook has something very similar.  
    There is also another interesting thing to note in the TOS (terms of service) - How Pinterest and other users can use your content. Here, they explain that anyone posting their content to Pinterest (with the exception of people with certain profile settings) allows Pinterest and others to re-pin, re-arrange, display, reproduce, etc., their stuff on Pinterest.  It’s a whole other story if you pull it off Pinterest and share it to another social network, website, blog, etc.

    @iamconsulting thanks  nichole…. i  read all about that   a  few  weeks  ago…..at  that  time   many were  worried about  even pinning..some  even  closed down their  boards, ..  now  that  seems to have subsided….

    this is going to  be interesting… 

    what if  the picture i  wanted  to put  on my  facebook  was from an actual  friend of mine  who i follow on pinterest…  what if it  was a photo   from   before  1920? what if the pinners  dont  care?  i  want my  pictures  to be  picked up, thats why i  put  them on the internet,   hopefully with my   website still on them…. pinterest  makes it  so  easy to pick  pictures off of  websites and  blogs,  but i take it thats not  stealing….those pictures arent   copyrighted on the  blogs  but when they are on pinterest they are?   what a mess….  but  guess ill be  careful   for a while  till it  gets  sorted out….

    It is a rather sticky situation and the lines are blurred.  People that share their own content on Pinterest is free game on Pinterest.  It cannot be removed and no one can sue over re-pinning so it protects the users on Pinterest, not off, which is really all Pinterest can do.

    You mentioned it being easy to take images off websites and blogs and that’s where things come into a gray area.  Many websites and blogs, including my own, purchase images to use to point to a concept or make pages more visually appealing.  It all comes down to Fair Use.  I did a quick Google search and actually found a well-written article on the subject right here on SME - http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/copyright-fair-use-and-how-it-works-for-online-images/.

    thanks  nichole….  i  read  thru  the   sme  post and   interesting  comments  too..and  the  disclaliimer that it wasnt legal advice….

    ..wonder what they  are doing about the rampant   viral  jokes  flying around   facebook…

    we want our   online things/images   to go viral  but  most uses of our things/images   is    stealing  because about anything we  do is  copyrighted…

    i sure  dont  want to  be in  any  violation….

    I believe all attorneys or people that write blogs about legal issues have to have or should have some type of disclaimer in case someone reads a post and takes it as legal advice so the attorney does not get sued.Many people want their content shared as it promotes business,traffic, leads, etc. There are others like photographers, authors and designers that could potentially lose a lot of money for their work so those law are in place to protect both them and us.Pinterest does supply a snippet of code that people can install on their websites to essentially opt-out, meaning people can’t pin stuff from their pages but it’s not something that’s been talked about a lot and not a lot of people know it’s an option. @annfurnivall

    Every pin on Pinterest supposedly has an origin point – from a website or uploaded by user. If the pic is something from a website, you could go to the origin point and link that on FB.

    Uploaded pics are a different story – since they only reside on Pinterest, you’d have to follow the TOU on Pinterest.
