Maybe patterns shouldn't be placed in magazines if they don't want them used or shared?????? HHHMMMM
You CAN share the magazines, that's fine. You can use them, lend them, give them away, or sell them anytime you want and that's completely legal. What you legally CAN'T do is make copies of those patterns for your friends, or make a copy for yourself and then sell/give away the original. Think of it this way - it's a COPYright - it dictates rules about making COPIES. Not about what you do with the original.
