Pinterest's 'Do Not Pin' Button Update: Oscar Fashions Are Still Pinnable

Last week, the photo-sharing site Pinterest unveiled a “do not pin” button to protect copyrighted works from piracy. This weekend, Hollywood actors got dressed up for the 84th Annual Academy Awards. Did the media care if viewers pinned highlights from the awards show? Not really.

There were some beautiful dresses on the red carpet last night, like Natalie Portman’s sweet polka dot dress by Christian Dior and best supporting actress Octavia Spencer’s shimmery Tadashi Shoji gown.  Who wouldn’t run straight to Pinterest and immediately make a pinboard highlighting the best and worst?

Lots of people, it turns out.
