Patricia Bee's heart sure is in the right place, tirelessly promoting "responsible pinning" with proper attribution and a link back to the original website - on her Pinterest page.
The misconception that accreditation of an image to the creator and a link to the creator's website absolves one from copyright infringement is so rampant that even people that cruisade in favor of respecting copyrights unwittingly disseminate it.

I just did DMCA reports on 30 repins on one of my images, most all pinned from am.newuvision.us/pagesale/3333
i google newuvision, and the only link that made sense was a source page for Pinterest.
http://pinterest.com/source/am.newuvision.us/
Who the hell are they? And how do they get my 'blocked' images?
My best guess is that some shady search engine optimizer is doing a link campaign on behalf of optometry service "newvision.us."
The server hangs so I can't see the site itself, but one way they can get your images is with Bing's API, that allows people to leech off its image search results automatically.
