One thing that get's to me is when I have very old patterns that have been handed down from my DGM and DM that someone publishes and copyright's them as their own. I have several like that and I will share them with those who have ask me to loan them as they are to old to have been copyrighted the last few years. I won't loan new patterns I have bought that are copyrighted. I will give patterns from magazines I have bought. Most of the ones I know don't want to break the law either and understand when I tell them why I can't let them copy them. I feel you can find most patterns on line free if you look hard enough or look at a guilt and design your own.
