Okay, I'm rather new to quilting, but the area of copyrights is quite fuzzy to me. I understand the purpose of copyrighting and I agree that if the pattern is copyrighted you cannot share it. However, why is it okay then to sell it to somebody else to use AFTER you have used it? It doesn't give the creator any more money, it just basically gives you, the user, a free pattern. Just one of those things that makes you go, hmmmmm.
