Tick Box for Yes or No to pinning an item to Pinterest
A box for yes or no you can add this item to pinterest - I have come across some sellers who don't want their items pinned because of concerns regarding copying from pinterest. If there is a 'yes you can' or 'no you can't' pin this item ready to be ticked on listing the item & then visible for anyone to see, this would avoid inadvertently pinning an item against the wishes of the copyright owner.

We’re not convinced that developing this feature would restrict the sharing of work across social networks. We do monitor the Pinterest debates, their revised terms of use are much improved. Also the Folksy Terms of Use allow Folksy to reproduce your work for the purposes of marketing and one of our marketing channels, along with Twitter, Svpply and Facebook is Pinterest.
If there continues to be concern over the use of Pinterest for our sellers then we may look alternatives for communicating non-particpation in sharing images.

I like this idea. Pinterest is currently a minefield for copyrights. Though if we did not wish to have others pinning our work, what of the issue of Folksy pinning our items to their own boards without asking first. Is there something in the terms and conditions that says that can do this?

I think that is a brilliant idea, that way everyone know's where they stand.
