Pinterest had to through with legal implications as it let users pin content from anywhere on the web into their own collection with or without any permissions. But I wonder, generally who gonna ask you for the permission if someone found your stuff are visually appeal for them. They just pin it down. However for people who really care about what they publish on their site and if they don't wanna let others pin their content, Pinterest let them block their sites from pinning too. But pinning doesn't mean that users are trying to acquire copyright for that specific content and not meant to be. It's just fair use and spreading the word. And Pinterest is not the only place where you can share content without permissions.

Galen Moore shared an article about how Pinterest affect on businesses and he has been talking about his personal experience which cause him to prevent using Pinterest for his business. But pins that pinned from source, always link back to source site and it aids to promote content and gain more exposure to your content. Isn't that the intention of publishing content online? However if you are pinning content, I think you might have a look at these suggestions that Lisa Buben has been recommending to be ethical when using Pinterest as a service. They are quite simple but much effective. So if you are gonna get rid of Pinterest due to copyright infringement or sort of reason, you may think about it once again.
