The site is also set up so users get recommended images to pin to their own boards. What’s not clear is that when that happens, Pinterest seems to assume some sort of shared ownership. So if the original image is removed, anyone that pinned it is suddenly counted as the new owner.

I had pinned images to one of my boards that I used to keep a board of art that I liked, thinking it was like bookmarking. Then I started getting emails saying I had violated copyright because Pinterest couldn’t tell the difference between me pinning something it recommended that I pin and me uploading an image.

I went into my boards and saw that some of the art I had pinned (I uploaded nothing) had changed to look as though I was the original uploader and/or owner.

I deleted everything and quit the site after that.
