She makes many very good points. Unfortunately with social media and technology, it will continue to be very hard for artists to protect their art. Reproducing someone's art without permission or proper credit is stealing. Fortunately, it is very easy with that same technology to reach out and ask for permission. Many quilt shows are requiring letters of permission from quilt designers who generally will give it with enthusiasm. I have friends who design quilts and sell patterns. it is not an easy job and I feel for them.
