This copy right buisness sounds like confusing lawyer talk. If I buy a pattern at the store it is now my pattern,right? just as if I buy a couch, I can sit in it, jump on it or change the color because it is mine.....ask the government because they made me pay taxed on it. If an artist sold their idea to a company it would seem it no longer is theirs. They have me afraid to hang it in my window without a sign in my yard saying their name. Does this sound like anti-lawyer talk. I have 4 of them in the family Joanne
