Ditter and Stitchinwitch are spot on. I am a fierce supporter of federal copyright laws as we all should be. So long as they are original copies there is no problem; HOWEVER, any copy is clear copyright violation. How would you feel if you designed or published these patterns? No one in the quilt design or publishing business is making bunches of money and their "products" deserve to be protected so that they can continue to work for all our consumption. If this type of scofflaw behavior continues among us, eventually designing and publishing will diminish. Sure it's great to get a deal but it's not fair to those who have labored for us and our hobby/craft to risk being put out of business this way. REPORT this to ebay!

There's far too much wonderful free stuff out there for us to tolerate copyright infringement.
