Pinterest: Pin At Your Own Risk, Completely [del.icio.us]

Nothing is perfect. So, it figures that there are flaws in the new, "all the rage" website, Pinterest.
And, I'm sad to say that Pinterest flaws just might cause you to close your account.
A lawyer, Kirsten Kowalski, from the Atlanta, Georgia area - who happens to be a professional photographer (DDK Portraits) - went through all of the legal jargon (that most of us don't even bother to read) posted on the Pinterest site. Her goal was to check to see if there could be trouble just around the corner; for pinning others photographic content on her Pinterest page.
Her findings were alarming. What she reported has set me on my heels, causing em to re-think my participation on Pinterest. And hopefully you will consider what's best for you too.
If you feed people and make money doing it, you understand the problematic implications and the risks associated with serving and catering food and have enough to worry about as it is, without now having to concern yourself with the possibility of Pinterest-related lawsuits too.
You might want to consider: a.) if you want to even bother keeping your account open and b.) if do decide to keep your account open, do you have sufficient content of your own to pin (the way Whole Foods Market does) OR have you paid for the legal right to use content that belongs to someone else, and will use it as your #1 source of pinning?
She's a lawyer, so she can explain it better than I as a caterer and luxury event planner ever could. Check out what she has to say for yourself, right here.
Are you active on Pinterest? And, will the legal responsibilities of Pinterest, which really don't don't rule in your favor, cause you to shut down your account and leave?
I'll end this just like I started it. Pinterest: Pin at your own risk, completely.
