Pinterest Wins a Copyright Lawsuit Filed by a Photographer
A federal judge has ruled in favor of Pinterest in a lawsuit by a photographer who claimed the company infringed over fifty of his copyrighted works by displaying them alongside advertisements in the form of “promoted pins.”
New Jersey Photographer Harold Davis sued the social-media platform in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California in November of 2019 for displaying 51 of his photographs without permission on its site.
In his suit, Davis did not challenge users of Pinterest — saying he “has no quarrel” with profiles who pinned his photos to their personal Pinterest board, reports Court House News.
