Pinterest Problem: Users May Run Into Copyright Issues Get Breaking News First Receive News, Politics, and Entertainment Headlines Each Morning. Sign Up FORT WORTH (CBS 11 NEWS) – Pinterest has more than 12 million users. Women use it for everything from planning their weddings to decorating their homes. Pinterest openly encourages users to share “all the beautiful things you find on the web.” But could you get in trouble with each pin and repin? “Pinterest is not illegal,” says Dallas intellectual property lawyer Casey Griffith. While it may not be illegal — you could get yourself sued if you’re not careful. Griffith says much of the content posted by users is protected. “The law covers that the copyright owner may be able to cover their attorney fees and significant statutory damages and that could amount to tens of thousands of dollars,” says Griffith. And don’t think you’re safe just because you’re pinning a watermarked image. And Pinterest has taken steps to protect copyright owners.
Microsoft kampittaa nyt Applea pilvessä - Talouselämä It-jätti Microsoft sulauttaa tiedostojen tallennus- ja jakopalvelu SkyDriven Windows 8 -käyttöjärjestelmäänsä, yhtiö kertoo blogissaan. Uuden SkyDriven avulla käyttäjät pystyvät synkronoimaan asetuksensa ja tärkeimmät tiedostonsa eri laitteiden välillä. Viime viikolla Apple esitteli OS X -käyttöjärjestelmänsä seuraava versiota, joka niin ikään sisältää Applen tallennuspalvelu iCloudin. Microsoft on laittanut Applea paremmaksi: yhtiö tarjoaa 25 gigatavua ilmaista tallennustilaa pilvipalveluunsa. Applen ilmainen tallennustila rajoittuu 5 gigatavuun. Tosin käyttäjän Photo Stream -valokuvat, iTunesin musiikkikirjasto, sovellukset ja iBooks-sähkökirjat eivät syö tilaa Applen iCloudista. Microsoftin antamien tietojen mukaan sen tiedostojenjakopalvelu muistuttaa hyvin paljon Dropboxia, jossa käyttäjät voivat jakaa tiedostoja ja kansioitaan keskenään. SkyDriven tiedostoihin pääsee käsiksi niin käyttöjärjestelmän tiedostojenhallinnan kuin selaimen kautta. Tilaa uutiskirje
Flickr Is Fighting Against Copyright Theft On Pinterest Pinterest continues to address copyright issues and adds Flickr attribution Due to a great deal of whiny criticism about copyright issues, Pinterest has introduced a new attribution system with the help of sites like Flickr, Vimeo and YouTube. Over the past few months, as interest in Pinterest has grown and grown and GROWN, many issues have been raised about whether users really have a right to pin anything they please. Some individuals and businesses raised valid points about their work being taken and used without attribution, whereas others were just jumping on the "Pinterest is bad" bandwagon and made us want to set the internet on fire. In response to some of these concerns the popular pinning platform updated its terms of service, gave everyone a way to block 'pinning' on their website and has today launched a new way of attributing those who originally created content. The Pinterest blog post states: "Attribution appears below the pin's description and provides a permanent link to the work, its author, and where they host their content. [Via Pinterest]
Lumia / iPhone UX-battle – Final scores and conclusion | MediaCity – Content Testing Home » Lumia / iPhone UX-battle – Final scores and conclusion The word test mean for the total score is is 4,43 for the Lumia, and 5,00 for the iPhone. The iPhone wins over the Lumia in all word types, with the largest difference being the pragmatic score. 4,15 vs 4,88 respectively. A difference of about 0,7 points. The total positivity score for the Lumia is high at 5,0 but the iPhone beats that with an impressive final positivity score of 5,70. Overall the iPhone is considered significantly more human than the Lumia as well as significantly more connective. If we compare the first impression score and the final score we get the following graph: This graph shows us that while the iPhone is initially scored higher, the Lumia gains a bit during the test for all values except Hedonic (pleasure) that falls for both. One more interesting thing to look at is the reported final score, when asked to think back, versus the calculated score from all the task scores given.
How Pinterest Uses Your Content Without Violating Copyright Laws Pinterest, the increasingly popular pinboarding social network, is able to present a visually arresting interface in large part by using copyrighted images pinned by users. "It's a huge concern for creative bloggers," said Amy Anderson, who blogs on the arts and crafts site Crafter Minds. "I don't think Pinterest does anything to help protect copyright besides removing content when people ask." Pinterest is able to avoid violating U.S. copyright laws thanks to a provision in the Internet Service Providers Act, which gives immunity to sites that publish information provided by others, according to Aaron Messing, an associate with OlenderFeldman LLP in New Jersey. Pinterest did not respond to a request for comment, but its Web site has instructions for requesting the removal of copyrighted content. Among many Pinterest users, as well as several artists who have had work pinned on the site, a code for giving proper credit is developing.
Pinterest addresses copyright concerns Pinterest, the newly hot social networking site, has answered some questions about copyright permissions and how the company thinks about sharing. In a statement, the company said that it believes that it is protected under the safe harbor of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and that it is committed to quickly responding to alleged copyright issues. Other companies, such as YouTube, adopt a similar strategy on content posted to their Web sites. Pinterest also said that the feedback from content creators has been largely positive — not litigious — because Pinterest drives traffic back to other Web sites. According to a report from The Next Web, Pinterest mostly drives traffic back to Facebook, Google, YouTube and Etsy, which largely mirrors the top sources for content on the site. The site, which was launched in 2009, has seen tremendous growth in the past few months and is now estimated to have 11 million users. For those interested, Pinterest’s full statement follows below:

Flickr adds Pinterest opt-out code to copyrighted photos | Digital Media - CNET News - Aurora Photo-sharing site Flickr has added Pinterest's new opt-out code to all Flickr pages with copyrighted or protected images, according to a VentureBeat story published Friday night. Yahoo-owned Flickr did not immediately return an e-mail seeking confirmation on the move, but the site reportedly told VentureBeat that the code appears on all "non-public/non-safe pages, as well as when a member has disabled sharing of their Flickr content.... This means only content that is 'safe,' 'public,' and has the sharing button enabled can be pinned to Pinterest." The virtual pinboard site, which is still in private beta, has grown at breakneck speed . The premise behind Pinterest is for users to gather, organize, and share things they find on the Web, such as home decorations, clothing, and food.
