<p> Royalties and "residual" payment is only fair. And good business. Actors receive kudos in the form of payment in this way for decades, as do composers. Visual art deserves the same. I do not have a "Pinterest" account and am really not interested in handing over my images for their profit. How very bizarre a concept. I asked someone about the music mixing that is popular now and wondered about attribution and royalties ... taking (yes) songs from a recording and creating a collage of sound.…</p>

<p>That's a very interesting thought indeed Christopher, and the basis of the "made to order" trend that is making headway in both brick and mortar shops as well as online for a variety of merchandise including furniture.

<p>We agree Tom. Ignoring Pinterest is not the answer. Its going to grow and continue. One of the niceties that we have seen in another group we belong to is that members watch each others backs. When they see an image from someone they know that is not properly attributed or misused they let the original artist know. Its like a big neighborhood watch program. Of course its not perfect, and it doesn't catch everything, but its an example of social network activism, and it is one way artists…</p>

<p>There are also more links to articles and blog posts about Pinterest.</p>
<p>I will try to add a few more links to this post soon, and the next ASK Harriete.</p>
<p>The implications of this topic are far reaching.</p>
