Is there not also a fine line when you use a pattern to make items to sell for profit...that is against the law until you have written permission from the author/creator of the pattern.

Also, if when duplicating a pattern, you yourself change one feature, it no longer fits the copyright. A fabric wholesaler told me this....if you add a button, change the size of the blocks, or such, it belongs to YOU. The fine line is indeed fine, and I refuse to worry....lol.

For what it is worth....I just emailed babylock regarding one of their free internet patterns. I can make and sell the item at craft fairs however I can not sell the pattern. Interesting that says a lot too....
I think bottom line is a whole lot of common sense and know how and common courtesy and respect of others. If it is theirs it is THEIRS, and if in doubt ask or don't do it.
