Sharing content to your own blog?

7 replies
Assume someone has a Pinterest account and board. I also have a Pinterest account and can share his posts on Pinterest (posts/pictures from his/her blog) to my Facebook fanpage or other social media pages. Can I also share his/her content to my own blog without copyright infringement? For content curation purposes.

    Are you looking to post the entire content, A-to-Z? In this case, I would ask for his permission first. Syndication is fine, but the content owner must be okay with it first.

    If you're just looking to borrow a small snippet (such as two sentences from him, mixed with some new sentences freshly-written by you) and ultimately link back to him, then you're fine and there is absolutely no issue there.

    It usually is okay to share other people's content, as long as you give the credits to the right owner, and have a link back to the original sources.

    I'd suggest you to contact the site's owner first - just to double check it's okay.

    Have a great week!

      You have no idea what you're talking about. Posts on Pinterest are most certainly copyrighted, unless otherwise stated. In order to use them outside of Pinterest, you must be sure to have legal permission to do so. It has absolutely nothing to do with whatever he may or may not have signed.

    You can "copy" someone else's content and post it on your website, as long as you put a link to the original article in your post.

    Having said that, what's the point of copying someone else's hard work, when you can simply put a short link to the original content and send people directly there?

    You're wasting your time for nothing. Unless you write your own unique articles, posting copied articles from the web won't do much good for you.
