Block Pin It Use at Your Website

You can prevent Pinterest members from using the Pin It bookmarklet to pin images from your website. You can do it with a bit of code that Pinterest introduced in response to complaints from people who did not want their pictures reproduced at Pinterest. The code also has variations.
