Of course you should report them. I did that with several of my "pinned" images using Pinterest's DMCA online form and they were taken down in a matter of hours. However, I cannot cope with the amount of theft of my images going on in Pinterest boards and think of it - this is just the beginning! posted in I do not want my images shareable on sites like Pinterest.

@Achilles - who said anything about making money? It's about NOT making money, that is - not being paid for image use.Of course an image can be pinned with or without your button. But the fact that you offer that button is an invitation to effectively use the image without our (content owners) permission. I don't see anywhere stating near that button "if you want to actually use this image in your blog or whatever, you must PAY for it - and you cannot use it with watermark on".I also find the terms "rage" and "hate" a bit too passionate and extreme.

At a quick search I found 3 illegal use of my images on Pinterest. They were quick to react to the first DMCA and took the image down, the next 2 DMCAs are on the way. I am quite confident that there are many other of my images there, but I don't have the time to hunt them down.I also am convinced that there are a lot of bloggers who won't give a d@mn whether the image is watermarked or not. And this "share" button will certainly not educate them to buy the photo they're illegally using. And I, like so many, believe that micro and macrostock agencies SHOULD NOT use, promote or endorse Pinterest in any way. posted in I do not want my images shareable on sites like Pinterest.
