laughing here! patricej, I am with you there! This has been an enjoyable topic, but I wonder how many people fear life threatening consequences from illegally trespassing copyright laws! I truly never gave much thought to it in the past and as of now, I still think it is a bit overstated. Quilters of the world are far from trying to outwit the copywriters or creators of such patterns, more to the order of trying a hand at something new and in some cases old, and in doing so, we learn, but most importantly, keep the art of quilting alive.
Happy quilting everyone!
