Legality and Pinning

Oh my, I've been re-educated this morning while reading through my RSS feeds! I was using Pinterest like my personal Delicious account as a visual bookmark for anything and everything that catches my eye and I might just want to try myself. But it looks like we need to have permission to pin before doing so. That being said I'll no longer use the repin button but just use the like button. If it's something I really want to pin on my boards I'll find the original source and make sure it's alright to pin so that I'm not stealing someone's intellectual property.  
Ok seriously, trying to sort through all my likes is ridiculous! So my new motto is try my best to find the original source but if that doesn't work just repin it and pray for protection from the copyright lawyers, who must be drowning in cases against Pinterest users!

Just to let you know, I give my permission to pin anything you see on this blog. Notice my permission to pin banner and please come visit or follow my boards on Pinterest.
