What you learn on the Internet stays on the Internet?
There is a current discussion on this forum regarding "what you learn in class stays in class" and rather than stir the pot in that discussion, I have another question.
I am curious about what are the rules/laws about things you learn from a youtube video, a written tutorial, or blog on the internet?
If I see a tutorial (whether video or written)for something like a technique, a sewn item, a quilt, or anything that you can make, am I allowed to make a limited number of those items and sell at a quilt guild show boutique? Can I do a demo on making those items for my guild members? and with giving credit where the idea came from, without violating copyright laws?
I understand that I can not pass those off as my own original idea, I can not mass produce them and sell at a profit for myself, I can not write up a pattern and sell it as my own (although I have seen it done) etc.
Thanks in advance!
