Why are threads concerning copyrights and members opinions and comments being closed? It seems this subject is suddenly taboo. Why? I was in hobby lobby today and looked through a new issue of a popular magazine and saw three patterns clearly made from public domain blocks, one was hole in the wall and it even stated 12 hole in the wall blocks were used, one was ocean waves, can't remember the other right now. They had persons listed as designers. How can they do that and then cite copyright? As of now my solution to this is: for the rest of this year at least I WILL NOT buy another pattern, magazine, or quilting book. I am going to use only public domain blocks or design my own.
