I am so glad I can make my own patterns, so I will no longer be breaking any laws. Anyone want a huge pile of patterns, or am I required to burn them?
No, that is not what is being said. I posted the info about the First Sale Doctrine. You can dispose of the copyrighted material any way you want. You can NOT copy it and give away the copies.
