There is no moral hazard when they are claiming the right to sell material that might be copyrighted.

That isn't an issue because you are co-assigning your copyright to them, assuming you own the copyright. And if you don't own the copyright then it's not a valid contract, so it doesn't matter. It's not like you're legally able to sign away someone else's copyright. Which is exactly why the indemnity clause is there, to prevent pinterest from being responsible if people are dumb enough to do that.
(Almost) all material is copyrighted. The question is who owns such copyright (or a sublicensable license to it).
