For Pinterest, Revenue Will Turn Copyright Questions Into Real Problems
Getty Images' CEO Jonathan Klein is not concerned about people playing with Getty photos, teenagers using them for school projects, and people putting them up on their personal blogs -- or, at the moment, even Pinterest. So when does Getty snap into action? The moment that a website starts running ads alongside those images. As Klein told me in the interview embedded above:"We're comfortable with people using our images to build traffic. The point in time when they have a business model, they have to have some sort of license."That is why Pinterest has a big problem on its hands at the moment. The site has certainly built immense traffic by allowing people to share and collect as many photos as they want -- many of which inevitably don't belong to them, in the legal sense.
