Really? I didn't know that! She says "please feel free to link to my site," and I guess I view pinning as more of a link than a use of copyrighted photos without attribution to the original owner. The link is inherent in the pin - you can't pin something without it being a link back to the original. That's just how it works. The pin IS a link, it's just a link that uses a picture instead of http:// text. To me, it's not the same thing as posting a picture of something she did on her blog on your own blog without giving any credit. I also always include her name in the pin text so she gets credit. There is certainly nothing technical that prevents pinning from her site (as there is on some flickr pages, for example).
