some people have begun to notice that braceletbook has been reposting photos onto pinterest without giving credit. as most of you probably know, when you click a pin it takes you to a website. instead of linking the exact link that would be the photo, they simply link the pattern. therefore, photos are being posted without permission and credit. while whoever posts these photos is not claiming these photos as their own, it isn’t fair that these photos are being shared to 145k pinterest followers without due credit. someone viewing this on their page, not understanding what the platform is, would simply assume that the braceletbook account made that bracelet. while some accounts watermark their photos, it’s very few and it seems that watermarked photos are rarely being posted. braceletbook needs to do something about this, whether it be linking the exact url to the photo being shared, or writing “diamond bracelet made by @ (username)”. i have been scrolling through their account, and checking if any unwatermarked photos are uploaded by users with their instagram handle mentioned in their profile and contacting through there. please make sure everyone knows about what’s going on and let the admins know it’s not ok.

** additionally please note that braceletbook gets 10 million monthly views on pinterest. ten million. every month. that’s posts upon posts that are left without credit, posts that are going mini viral without the creator aware, posts that no one knew they even made.

also, many bracelet accounts have pinterest as well, and it’s not fair that they only have maybe 10 or 15 followers as they post their own content, while braceletbook gets much more attention for others pictures.

Also it could be good for those who are minors so people don’t find them, but I do think they should ask people for permission first and if they want to be given credit.

@Heidiv after going through the terms of use, it actually says that they can use photos for promotional purposes, so though it isn’t necessarily moral, we’ve agreed to it when signing up. sorry for the misunderstanding.
