<p>Some businesses are <a href="http://www.drivingsales.com/blogs/digitaldiva/2012/03/30/5-pinteresting-ways-to-build-your-dealership-brand-a-mini-series-" target="_blank">fully embracing the photo sharing platform,</a> while others are holding back to see whether there are any legal problems in the future.</p>
<p>One successful lawyer shared her anxiety over whether the pictures she 'pinned' to her own virtual Pinterest boards via other websites would eventually come back to bite her since she does not own the rights to them. She was so bothered by the possibility that she deleted her account altogether, and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/pinterest-copyright-issues-lawyer-2012-2" target="_blank">wrote a post</a> explaining her reasons.</p>
<p>Pinterest has <a href="http://articles.businessinsider.com/2012-03-09/tech/31138731_1_copyright-questions-images-clearing-things" target="_blank">expressly said</a> that it will not be sued for copyrighted information shared on its site; but some people and companies are still worried about the future repercussions of circulating images they do not own. YouTube comes to mind here.</p>
<p>Many businesses have said they are happy for the free publicity, since a lot of the content shared falls under the categories of 'things I'd love to purchase' or 'decorating ideas' - products that consumers find desirable. For this reason, car dealers are considering posting their own inventory on Pinterest to attract attention. But could there also be a negative side to sharing on such a viral space with limited guidance or boundaries set up for protected images?</p>

We use HomeNet for our Inventory Management to upload pictures and what not to.

We use HomeNet for our Inventory Management to upload pictures and what not to. I was glad once we switched from Dealer Specialties about a year and a half ago because we can upload all of the pictures at once and it does seem to be a much better company in someways, however we have had our share of problems with them.<br/> <br/> 1. One thing is that the VINs pick up Onstar for each vehicle no matter what. Certain vehicles do not have Onstar and the customer asks what telemetics is and we have to explain to them that that's not our fault.<br/> <br/> 2. A lot of times the automatic and manual transmissions do not get picked up by Homenet, so we have to manually put them in there.<br/> <br/> 3. Some times the window stickers we print off are WACK and have random options that don't make any sense. Here's an example of a window sticker I am looking at:<br/> <br/> -Steel Wheels <br/> - really has hubcaps<br/> <br/> -Tires - Front All Season<br/> -Tires - Rear All Season<br/> -Tires - Front Performance<br/> -Tires - Rear Performance<br/> - This car has 8 tires!<br/> <br/> -Bucket Seats<br/> - Really has bench seats<br/> <br/> This is all on one window sticker and all of this information is wrong! We have several recurring problems with this company and are considering changing to a different company. <br/> <br/> If you have any information you can share about your Inventory Management provider it would be very helpful!<br/> <br/> Thanks to anyone who's willing to share their knowledge with the rest of us! Thanks!!
