This site makes it easy to repost anything on the internet, and it's not concerned with infringement, because it puts the onus on the copyright owner to a)find the content b) file a complaint, but you need to supply every single url the image appears on their site. Case in point, I find a pic of my kids copied 8 times, yet everytime I follow that link, people have copied from that, so I have to keep following the thread. And often by the time I put in say, ten urls the site times out, so I have to do it all over again.
This is unlike, most sites, like say, tumblr, where you can report a reposting once, and they take down all the reblogs from the source - if you are the owner of the copyright.

* Those images in which the creator included their url on the image did help, but some familiar comics had the url removed at some point in the sharing
* The share chain tends to, by nature, lead to the original source being lost, and rarely with the Pinterest poster bother to try and track it down. It's like a game of Telephone.
