This is the second time I won a pattern on Ebay only to find it's pages torn out of a magazine. Even the templates were cut from a page. None of it is even copies. Just torn out pages. I'm having a real prob. with this & wonder if it is legal or bothers anybody else. Or am I just missing something?
I did email the grp. at Better Homes & Gardens that puts out this magazine. I'm curious to see if I even hear back. |
I don't think it's legal for a person to do that.
I'm curious too to see what they say |

If this happened to me, I'd feel cheated. On the other hand, I have about 10 years worth of quilt mags, perhaps I should start tearing them apart!

I don't think you can sell something like that, but giving it is probably OK. Legal or not, I feel it is unethical and I would also feel cheated.

Yes it also bothered me. I have won patterns and they were pages torn out of magazines. Please post updates if you hear from Better Homes & Gardens.

I'm just reading in another thread about "carping" & being negative. (I remember the msg they're referring to & felt bad about it at the time) I sure hope my comment doesn't sound like that since I'm just trying to find out if this is legal. If not, I will sure question a seller in the future as to her/his source of patterns. I have so much faith in this grp. that I knew we would all rise above any negativity. |
I have gotten crochet patterns like that. Most of them were from very old magazines. I think that may not be against the law. I am not sure.
I often sell on e-bay. If it wasn't against the law I might take my crocheting and quilting magazines apart and keep what I like and sell the rest. But I feel like it is/should be agaist the law so I wouldn't do it. |

If they're the original patterns from the mags. it's legal, but if they're copies of the patterns that would be against copywrite law. But, I don't understand why someone wouldn't just sell the whole magazine, rather than tear it up.
