VERY IMPORTANT Please Read
This is a bmail I recieved today. I am enraged…This is rediculous. RED BUBBLE does not have to right to give the public this option…..
did you know this
If folks would go to Account Details…on the left side of their feed page under the Account section, have them scroll down on the page to where it says Image Settings. There they will find a box that says Pineterest…HIDE pin it , they should check this box.
As far as watermarks go, I find them useless, for as a Photoshop artist, they can be removed anyway, and it inhibits the viewing of the image to the viewer. Anyway, the images people see here are such low resolution, who wants them!
Pinterest came out a while ago, allowing a so called community to share interests, art, events, etc. People can go from site to site and pint their own work or the work of others for supposed further promotion. I had no damn idea that they had rights to use our image or would allow it to be used by others…this pissed me off royally!
Like I said though even if you wish not to be pinned and turn the feature off, there is still a way others can pin your images to their boards…I think RB is WRONG for endorsing this company, as I am sure they read the fine print which fools like me did not!
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the heads up Brenda. I checked to not allow it to be pinned. Sure, it won’t completely solve the problem, but it might help some. Hugs to you my friend~ Peechez
Hi Peechez,
You are correct when you say this wont completely solve the problem. I found out that Pinterest has a link for ANYONE to copy and paste into their browser bar so they can take any persons work from any site visited…. It is a shame…… Apparently though, there are a lot of people out there that do not mind their artwork essentially being stolen,……

Yes, I deactivated the pin button immediately, too. That site accounts for a lot of wasted time trying to keep them from losing the credit and link on your work. E.g. this one discovered today is using my painting to link to a coffee company: My journal on it
Yep, I deactivated mine upon hearing the news. I spent a good part of last month sending notices to Pinterest to remove pins of my work. RB has lost their minds!
Thank you Brenda – Pinterest is a copyright nightmare!
thanks for the info, Brenda!
Disabling the PIN IT button will also enable Pinterist’s NO PIN code
Thanks so much for bringing this to light – I had no idea but now I do….
