PRO TIP

If you email Pinterest and give them hell about the nopin meta-tag and threaten them with a lawsuit, they will block your domain(s) from being pinnable FROM THEIR END.

Even that isn't foolproof, somehow pinners can still sometimes pin through that block. As a backup, also use .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Pinterest [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ http://farm6\.staticflickr\.com/5275/7000674678_c5a1b80ba4\.jpg [R]

This one will replace the pinned image by a copyright warning.
