Always a hot topic, particularly if you ask a designer.
It doesn't matter how many you make. You can mass produce it, you can flush it down the toilet, you can run it up a flagpole. You can use a pattern any way you wish, as long as you buy the pattern and do not sell copies of it.
I, sort of, understand that someone wants to control the use of their creation. Once they sell it, they can't. They just can't.
Putting a disclaimer on their website doesn't make it so. It's just like the signs in the grocery store parking lot. The sign says they aren't responsible for damage to your vehicle caused by carts while parked in the lot. That's not true. They are responsible. However, if you believe the sign, you won't pursue it. They win. You lose.
