First, I think of it as the person chose to SHARE the method with others in a book or online. Its out there. How many times have you looked at a quilt and said, oh, I can do THAT! (D9P for one). Second, just about any book can be found at the library for free, so I do not think of sharing information to be a bad thing. Third, I would tell the person if they wanted more info to get the book, online, or loan them the one I have. Now that said, I would not teach a class and make money on that method without permission. that's just a moral issue for me. Forth, If you wait long enough it will be on you tube. LOL
