Our apologies to any and all Pinterest users, but ART Evolved is a pin free site for the time being.
Given all the uncertainty and potential worry caused by the copyrights and ownership terms on Pinterest regarding posted material, I am blocking AE material from being posted there until I can better confier with the rest of the AE administration.
My concerns stem from ART Evolved being a trusted group content site. If it turns out that Pinterest can somehow gain ownership of any material posted on its site (or even try to claim such ownership), I do not want to see our ranks of gallery participants find their work all snipped off this site (fish in a barrell as it were with the galleries). Given how many people have entrusted us with their hard made art I feel it is my duty to protect this art from potential theft (which admittedly Pinterest hasn't outright done yet, BUT what I've been reading shows some worry about it in the future).
This is not necessarily a permanent situation. Again the administrators need a chance to touch base on the issue. Additionally if you are not pleased with this move please let us know in the comment section below or an email to artevolved@gmail.com. Again I'm not trying to be a killjoy. I'm just safeguarding the needs of the many till I know more.
This also will not effect member's work posted elsewhere. This block only exists (at least as far as I'm aware) on the ART Evolved site itself.
Sorry for the trouble this might cause you.
Craig
