I've wondered about the sellers I've seen who are selling single, torn-out magazine patterns on ebay and other sites ?? That surely must be a violation of copyright laws ? Yet they continue to do it ...?
It seems to me, unqualified that I am, that THAT would be a direct violation. But for you and me, if I scan a pattern from a magazine, and store it on my computer or in a binder, I don't think the Copyright Police will come to arrest me, or impose a fine, or whatever they do....execution? LOL. Nor do I think we have to worry about it, unless we are selling or distributing multiple copies. I say, collect your patterns and enjoy them.
