Point in Question:I was opening other emails and linked to a crafting site and there was a pattern for sale on an item that someone else has given away as a "freebie" ...You want to bet I downloaded the freebie rather than pay $7.00 for a pattern. Perhaps King Solomon was right: :"There is nothing new under the sun"...just variations?

Isn't anyone related to an attorney that could answer this question?

Franie,
I really don't understand why you were denied doing the pattern at a retreat. I mean it is possible a bunch of ladies could just be working on the same pattern at the same time. There's six people in my sewing group and one day three of us showed up doing the same pattern. It sure wasn't planned.

I will be checking from now on. Thanks for the other thread about this topic! I just went and Googled Creative Crafts Group, LLC and Quilter's Home is under the same umbrella as McCalls as well as a bunch of other magazines, so if anyone else is thinking of discontinuing your subscription or for any other reason you might want to check them out, you can find out who has this statement in their magazine. Just my little rant. Thanks for listening!

Now, I also agree that if it is truely an "original design" the designer should have some control over it, but lets get real here. How many designs these days are truely original? I'd say very few to NONE. Make what you want and do with it what you want. Don't support those who try to suppress your creativity and control what you do with it. My opinion only. Take it or leave it!

I just think the copyright laws need to be revamped so people can understand them with out consulting with lawyers to figure it out. Some were along the line it needs to be interpated in common layman turns so we can under stand what we can and can't do. Instead we get legal garble that doesn't make much sense to the common person. I am willing to either get in contact with the copyright office or talk with a person who knows the laws and can tell us exactly what we can and can't do.

I totally agree that they should have some control but that control is whether to sell it or not! When they sell it they also sell the control.
If I sell you my car I no longer have the right to tell you how to drive said car.
